Abstract: This contribution considers how anti-competitive agreements can be impacted by algorithms, especially those that use artificial intelligence, and by the use of blockchains. In both cases, the aim is to analyze how these technical devices can contribute to the consolidation of agreements, how they can hinder the supervision exercised by -competition authorities and the effectiveness of their tools to unravel cartels, and finally how they can be used to augment this oversight.
