The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has approved a resolution granting the agency easier access to information in nonpublic investigations related to artificial intelligence (AI) products and services.
The resolution allows FTC staff to issue civil investigative demands, similar to subpoenas, to investigate unlawful market behavior involving AI products without requiring a full Commission vote.
The resolution aims to protect consumers and address concerns about fraud, privacy infringement, unfair practices, and competition issues related to AI. [ more ]
