🇺🇸FTC · United States
Federal Trade Commission
The principal US consumer-protection and competition regulator, enforcing the FTC Act's prohibition on unfair or deceptive acts or practices.
Its role in AI governance
The FTC has been the most active US federal regulator on AI, using its Section 5 authority to act against deceptive AI claims, unfair uses of automated systems, and misuse of consumers' data to train models. It has repeatedly warned that existing consumer-protection, anti-discrimination, and data-security laws apply to AI without the need for new statutes.
