A number of government officials revealed that the US Federal Trade Commission is expanding an extensive investigation to investigate the potential risks that Anthropic, OpenAI, and other cutting-edge artificial intelligence laboratories may pose to consumers; the Commission plans to issue formal documentation requirements to these tech giants to force them to submit relevant materials. FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson initiated this investigation before an AI model got out of control during a test. Currently, the agency is drafting a request for a civil investigation and summoning leading enterprise executives to testify in court. A senior FTC official revealed: “Chairman Ferguson launched an investigation against leading AI companies a few weeks ago.” The official added, “The Commission plans to require these business executives to testify in court about their products and the risks the company claims the products may pose to consumers and the American public.”
