We shouldn’t overstate the impact of machine learning on the scientific process. The scientific revolution has increased our understanding of the world immensely and improved our lives immeasurably. Now, many argue that science as we know it could be rendered passé by artificial intelligence.

Weiser, representing the state, alleges in his lawsuit that the proposed merger, which was announced in October 2022, would violate antitrust provisions in Colorado law that prohibit acquisitions that “may substantially lessen competition or tend to create a monopoly.” Weiser, following a months-long investigation, argued that the $24.6 billion merger of the nation’s second- and third-largest grocery store chains would eliminate competition and harm shoppers, workers and suppliers in Colorado, where Kroger and Albertsons control the first- and second-largest grocery chains. He also sought a penalty against the two companies for a “non-poaching” agreement they reached during a labor dispute and strike in 2022 stating that they would not hire each other’s employees or solicit each other’s customers. Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson filed suit against the combination in January and the Federal Trade Commission challenged the merger in late February on grounds it would reduce competition for shoppers and reduce wages for grocery store workers. Colorado sought a preliminary injunction to either stop the combination until its case was heard or a ruling that required the two companies to divest enough stores in Colorado to restore competition as existed before the proposed merger.
