Neil Chilson on FTC Rulemaking & AI

In this episode, Neil Chilson, a senior research fellow for technology and innovation at Stand Together and former chief technologist at the FTC, discusses the FTC's proposal to create a trade regulation rule on commercial surveillance and data security. Chilson begins by discussing the FTC's history of rulemaking and why this rulemaking proposal is important. He reflects on what the FTC might be trying to achieve in this rulemaking process and discusses some potential concerns.
