This includes the use of civil investigative demands (CIDs) to gather information relevant to the investigation. Non-compliance with CIDs can lead to legal consequences. The FTC is also focusing on algorithmic fairness and transparency in AI systems. FTC chair Lina Khan has warned AI companies that they are not exempt from the law. The FTC is taking steps to align technological advancement with responsible oversight in the generative AI industry.
