In less than a year since OpenAI released its successful ChatGPT, artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly integrated into mainstream awareness and changed the business landscape significantly. Available AI-enabled products and services have seen a surge in growth, reflecting advancements in AI capabilities, and its infiltration into diverse sectors. In marketing, HR, legal research, and even accounting – virtually every major company has been experiencing an urgent drive to incorporate AI into its offerings. However, the legal framework behind these leaps in technology still need to be examined.
This technological revolution has caught the attention of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), who are now being forced to grapple with the applications and implications of AI. Balance must be struck between ensuring that regulatory measures don’t stifle innovation and simultaneously protecting consumer interests.
The FTC’s approach to this topic is becoming of greater importance, due to AI being responsible for a significant number of decisions that impact consumers on a daily basis. As such, legal professionals working in corporations and law firms need to be aware of the FTC’s evolving stance.
