FTC Shows Willingness to Use Extreme Measures to Tame AI

Consumer Protection Defense and Compliance attorney Anthony DiResta was quoted in a Coporate Counsel article about the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) increased enforcement activity against artificial intelligence (AI)-driven companies that disregard consumer privacy. The article centers on punishments known as “algorithmic disgorgement,” which seeks to regulate companies' misuse of AI models to collect sensitive customer data.
