The Federal Trade Commission is examining Anthropic, OpenAI and other artificial intelligence developers in a sector-wide inquiry, according to The Guardian US, aimed at identifying the risks their products may create for consumers.
The regulator's action is the first US enforcement effort by an official body to look into rogue AI agents. It comes after an increase in incidents, first reported in July, that have heightened public anxiety about the possibility that uncontrolled AI could cause harm to humans.
