Bloomberg
The Department of Justice is investigating whether Andreessen Horowitz partners violated antitrust rules by serving on boards of competing artificial intelligence companies. The probe focuses on potential conflicts of interest among A16z investment partners who hold board seats at rival AI firms. If substantiated, such violations could force divestitures or board seat resignations and establish precedent for policing venture capital conflicts in the AI sector.
