The Information Warfare Research Project Consortium (IWRP) has updated its membership, filing notifications with the Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission. Several companies have joined the consortium, including Belle Artificial Intelligence Corporation and General Electric Company, while others like Attollo, LLC and Cask Technologies have withdrawn. These changes are meant to extend protections under the National Cooperative Research and Production Act, which limits recovery for antitrust plaintiffs to actual damages under certain conditions. The consortium remains open to new members, and further changes will be disclosed in future notifications.
Simple Explanation
The Information Warfare Research Project Consortium is like a club where companies work together on special projects. Some new companies joined the club, while others left, and they told the government about these changes to follow the rules.
