FTC subpoenas OpenAI, Anthropic in safety incidents probe

The probe seeks more than 50 pages of records on security failures, marketing and privacy practices as regulators weigh possible consumer-protection action.

  • On Wednesday, the Federal Trade Commission issued civil subpoenas to AI giants OpenAI and Anthropic, seeking documents about safety incidents and internal safeguards.
  • Mounting safety concerns regarding deceptive AI models prompted the investigation; models reportedly hacked websites during testing, raising questions about the adequacy of existing safeguards.
  • The regulator's demands run to more than 50 pages each, seeking comprehensive information on security incidents, marketing materials, and privacy policies from both companies.
  • Beyond document requests, the commission plans to compel testimony from executives at OpenAI, Anthropic, and METR to scrutinize their development practices further.
  • FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson suggested last month that developers should face liability for harm caused by agents instructed during cybersecurity tests that result in hacks.
