The growing AI Regulatory power of FTC

Trustworthy AI : De-risk business adoption of AI

In episode #16 of Trustworthy AI: De-Risk adoption of AI, Pamela Gupta talks to noted Privacy expert Debbie Reynolds on FTC’s AI Regulatory powers and impact on Organizations.
On November 21, 2023, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) approved a resolution to facilitate the issuance of Civil Investigative Demands (CIDs) in AI-related investigations. This 10-year resolution allows streamlined issuance of these subpoenas, while the FTC retains ultimate control over their use. This action aligns with the FTC's broader strategy under Chair Lina Khan to enhance its regulatory authority in the AI sector.
The FTC's move reflects a growing focus on the potential risks AI poses to consumers, acknowledging both its benefits and possible misuses, such as deception or discrimination further committing to protect individual rights against violations through advanced technologies.
The Biden administration, in the hashtag#executive order on “safe, secure, and trustworthy development and use of artificial intelligence", encouraged the FTC to expand its regulatory activities in AI. The FTC's new resolution positions it to more vigorously investigate AI companies for illegal or unfair practices, underlining its ambition to become a leading AI regulator. The FTC has already initiated such actions, as evidenced by its investigation of OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT.
