FTC demands Anthropic executives testify in its AI safety inquiry
The Federal Trade Commission has demanded testimony from Anthropic executives, Axios reports, citing confirmation from the agency. The move follows document demands in a broader inquiry involving Anthropic and OpenAI.
The confirmed testimony demand concerns Anthropic; it should not be extended to OpenAI without evidence. An investigative demand is also not a finding of wrongdoing or a filed enforcement case. The immediate consequence is compulsory scrutiny of the company's safety representations. SourcesB
