FTC Warns Companies to Be Careful of Promises Using "AI" Washington, D.C. - The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is warning companies to be careful of making deceptive or misleading promises regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in their products or services. As the use of AI becomes increasingly prevalent in a wide range of industries, companies may be tempted to tout their use of the technology as a selling point. However, the FTC cautions that such claims must be substantiated and truthful, and not likely to mislead consumers. "The use of AI can bring significant benefits to consumers, but it is important that companies are transparent and truthful about the capabilities of their products and services," said FTC Chair Lina Khan. "Claims that are unsubstantiated or misleading can harm consumers and undermine trust in the marketplace." The FTC has issued guidance to help companies understand their obligations under the law when making claims about the use of AI. Among other things, the guidance advises companies to ensure that any claims about the capabilities of their AI systems are backed up by sound science and evidence. The FTC also warns against making claims that suggest AI can perform tasks that it cannot. For example, a company cannot claim that its AI system can accurately diagnose a medical condition if it has not been adequately tested and validated for that purpose. Finally, the FTC cautions that companies must be transparent about how they use consumer data in their AI systems. Consumers have a right to know what data is being collected, how it is being used, and how it is being protected. "AI has the potential to transform many aspects of our lives, but companies must use it responsibly and ethically," said Khan. "The FTC will continue to monitor the marketplace and take action against companies that deceive or mislead consumers." The FTC's guidance on the use of AI can be found on its website at www.ftc.gov.
