Part 2: An FTC Official Speaks About the Regulation of AI Technology

In this episode of his "Clearly Conspicuous" podcast series, "Part 2: An FTC Official Speaks About the Regulation of AI Technology," consumer protection attorney Anthony DiResta continues his discussion on the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) approach to regulating artificial intelligence (AI). The Biden Administration's executive order on AI directs the FTC to use its authority to protect consumers from bias and discrimination in AI technology. Mr. DiResta explains that companies may face liability for AI vendors and contractors, so they should implement compliance measures like pre-release assessments, transparency, vetting vendors, employee training and monitoring. He also shares that as AI regulation evolves, the FTC will continue using its unfair practices jurisdiction to prosecute harmful AI applications, while more comprehensive federal and state AI laws may emerge.
