This message is not new. Advertisers should take another look at our earlier AI guidance, which focused on fairness and equity but also said, clearly, not to overpromise what your algorithm or AI-based tool can deliver. Whatever it can or can’t do, AI is important, and so are the claims you make about it. You don’t need a machine to predict what the FTC might do when those claims are unsupported.
Really great and ominous closing paragraph.
- nfgrep 4y agoNot ominous, threatening, and somewhat juvenile IMO.
- briHass 4y agoIt's like something a small town sheriff would say in a press conference. The difference is, he'd probably be talking about violent crimes and speaking from the heart. This is a three-letter-agency of unelected law makers threatening who-knows-what over violations of ambiguous statutes they created.
- mcbits 4y agoConsidering who said it and their track record, I don't need a machine to predict that I might (or might not) be fined 1% of the swimming pool full of solid gold coins that I'll be swimming in thanks to my false claims, to deter others from following the same path.
- chris_wot 4y agoNothing juvenile about it.
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 4y agoWhat are ramifications of false advertising of AI capabilities in medicine? Policing? Mass surveillance? Education? Traffic control? Mass transit? Farming? Shipping? Law? News? Death. Mass death. Poverty. Disease. Mass destruction. Famine. Brush away these warnings to move fast and break things if you (Royal you) want. Hopefully, you won’t cause mass suffering, but if you do I hope you’re made an example of. When the ramifications are great so must be the controls.
- nfgrep 4y agoI dont disagree, I was expressing that I find their tone surprisingly “yee haw, we’ll getcha’” for an org that wields such power and responsibility.
- philippejara 4y agoI'll believe the words when I see them take action. As the text itself points out, the message is not new, and that just makes it look worse for them.

- nullc 4y ago> You don’t need a machine to predict what the FTC might do when those claims are unsupported. Indeed you don't, but one would tell you: The error minimizing prediction is that the FTC will absolutely nothing, since that's what they usually do.
