US regulators vow to take action against harmful and biased AI practices.

The head of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Lina Khan, warned that the FTC would not hesitate to crack down on businesses that use AI tools for nefarious purposes, including those that amplify bias or manipulate and deceive people on a large scale. Khan also raised the possibility of the FTC wielding its antitrust authority to protect competition in the AI industry. She expressed concern about tools that scammers could use to deploy fake or convincing content more widely and target specific groups with greater precision.
