America’s AI watchdog is losing its bite
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under the Biden administration pursued AI companies for deceptive practices and irresponsible technologies, but President Trump's AI Action Plan signals a shift in approach. The Trump administration aims to review and potentially repeal FTC actions that hinder AI innovation, leading to faster deployment of AI with fewer checks on accuracy and consumer protection. The White House's plan could impact FTC enforcement against AI companies, particularly in cases involving responsible AI use and bias testing. Critics warn that reduced FTC oversight may pose risks to the public as AI adoption accelerates.
