The Federal Trade Commission is opening an investigation into Anthropic, OpenAI, and other leading artificial intelligence developers to examine the risks their technologies pose to consumers, a federal official confirmed to the Washington Examiner on Wednesday.

The FTC is expected to issue demands for information and compel testimony from executives at some of the country’s leading AI companies, including Anthropic and OpenAI, as well as the AI safety research organization METR, according to multiple reports.
