An FTC official confirmed an industry-wide investigation into potential consumer risks from AI to Reuters on September 30. OpenAI and Anthropic are among the companies named.
Reuters also reports plans to demand information and testimony. That does not establish that those demands have already been served.
The report does not name the official. This account is not based on a published order or an established start date.
This risk signal documents regulatory scrutiny, not a finding of wrongdoing or an additional AI incident. The underlying safety allegations remain undecided.
