FTC Launches Sweeping Investigation into Superintelligence Model Companies Including Anthropic and OpenAI

Odaily News — Government officials have revealed that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is ramping up efforts with a sweeping investigation into Anthropic, OpenAI, and other superintelligence model companies to identify potential risks these technologies may pose to consumers. The agency plans to issue formal compulsory demands (similar to subpoenas) to these tech giants, ordering them to submit relevant information. FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson initiated this investigation prior to the "Hugging Face incident." The investigation focuses on alleged violations of the FTC Act regarding "unfair or deceptive acts or practices," and will require these AI companies (or "SI," as Trump calls them) to submit relevant documents.
