Federal regulators are opening a broad investigation into leading artificial intelligence firms over the consumer risks their most advanced models may pose.<\/p>\n

The Federal Trade Commission has been probing Anthropic, OpenAI and other frontier labs for several weeks and plans to issue civil investigative demands for documents and executive testimony, reports<\/a> the New York Post.<\/p>\n

A senior FTC official described the start of the inquiry.<\/p>\n

\u201cChairman Ferguson initiated an investigation into the leading AI firms a few weeks ago.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The official said the agency plans to compel executives to testify about their products and the dangers those products may pose to Americans under the FTC Act\u2019s unfair or deceptive practices rules.<\/p>\n

The agency also expects to target METR, a Berkeley-based AI watchdog.<\/p>\n

It is still drafting the civil investigative demands and expects to issue them in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

The investigation follows earlier demands for records on how AI chatbots affect children\u2019s mental health.<\/p>\n

It also comes after OpenAI disclosed a July Hugging Face incident in which more than 1,000 of its AI agents hacked the open-source platform.<\/p>\n

Chairman Andrew Ferguson attended a recent White House meeting where AI leaders including Anthropic\u2019s Dario Amodei, OpenAI\u2019s Sam Altman, Google\u2019s Sundar Pichai and xAI\u2019s Elon Musk signed a self-regulation accord.<\/p>\n

The official said the United States must win the super-intelligence race while still enforcing existing law rather than rushing into new rules that could box out competitors.<\/p>\n
