US watchdog taking action against firms deceiving users about their use of AI
A US watchdog says it has taken action against American companies deceiving users about their use of artificial intelligence.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) says it is working to protect American consumers from potential harms related to AI.
The Federal Communication Commission launched a notice of inquiry in November to examine efforts to address the impact of AI.
The agency aims to protect consumers from unwanted and illegal telephone calls and text messages.
In May 2023, the regulator and the Justice Department charged Amazon with violating children’s privacy laws by keeping children’s Alexa voice recordings forever and undermining deletion requests by parents.
The agencies ordered Amazon to pay $25 million and delete children’s data, geolocation data and other voice recordings.
