The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently initiated a law enforcement sweep, Operation AI Comply, against multiple companies that the FTC alleges have "relied on artificial intelligence as a way to supercharge deceptive or unfair conduct that harms consumers."

The sweep targets a range of AI related services and schemes, from "the world's first robot lawyer" [which my colleague, Kristen Niven blogged about HERE and HERE], to false earnings claims, to using AI to generate fake reviews. According to FTC Chair Khan, "Using AI tools to trick, mislead, or defraud people is illegal... [and] there is no AI exemption from the laws on the books."

As AI becomes more ubiquitous, so too have the promises that it can revolutionize businesses and improve lives. Unfortunately, as the FTC's sweep reveals, many companies can't back up what they've promised to consumers.
