FTC's Aggressive Approach to Mitigating AI Risks
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), under Chair Lena Kahn, has taken a strong stance in addressing the risks associated with artificial intelligence (AI). The FTC has launched investigations into AI investments and partnerships among major companies like Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, and OpenAI. It has also collaborated with other agencies to combat discrimination and bias in automated systems. The agency has intensified enforcement actions, as demonstrated by its recent settlement with Rite Aid, prohibiting the use of facial recognition technology for surveillance purposes. Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya emphasizes the need for comprehensive privacy legislation and greater protections against biased decision-making by AI systems.
