FTC launches sweeping probe into OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI labs over consumer protection concerns
The US Federal Trade Commission is investigating OpenAI, Anthropic and other leading AI labs over potential consumer protection violations. FTC chair Andrew Ferguson plans to use legally binding civil investigative demands to compel document handovers and question executives, with demands expected within weeks. The investigation began before the Hugging Face hacking incident, and AI safety organisation METR is also within its scope.
