To a query on whether the Competition Commission of India (CCI) plans to look at the impact of artificial intelligence on the competition landscape, Kaur replied in the affirmative.

"Yes. We are very much interested in that. In fact, we are looking at doing some market studies on that, so that we can understand the market better. We can look at whether there is any possibility of anti-competitive practices and if so, how they can be addressed. Whether we can even do a self-regulation. That is going to be looked at by the Commission," she said here.
