FTC Warns of AI Scams, Ramps Up Enforcement
The Federal Trade Commission has issued a report warning about the use of artificial intelligence to combat online problems and announced plans to increase enforcement against illegal bribes and rebate schemes
The Federal Trade Commission has issued a warning about scams involving artificial intelligence, as part of its efforts to protect consumers and promote competition, as outlined on the Federal Trade Commission website. The agency has announced that it will ramp up enforcement against illegal schemes, including bribes and rebate schemes that block patients' access to competing lower-cost drugs, according to recent press releases. This move is part of a broader effort to combat online problems and promote consumer protection, similar to the work of the US Trade Fraud Task Force, which has recently topped $1 billion in recovered funds. The FTC's actions are also relevant to ongoing antitrust cases, such as the Paramount-Warner Bros merger, which faces new challenges.
