The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has proposed a new policy targeting “misleading” or “biased” AI outputs.

Last December’s executive order on AI directed the FTC to take a stance on regulating AI. Yesterday, the FTC obliged, releasing a policy statement and opening it for public comment.

The last sentence was incorrect. The policy statement was posted a month earlier; it opened for comment on July 7, not August 7, and comments closed at the end of July. I was thrown off by the date of the news article (Aug 7) and I think I looked at the day but not the month when checking. Oops. Thankfully someone caught it early, and the daily digest and podcast should avoid the error.

Sutskever, with Hinton, was one of the co-creators of AlexNet, which helped kick off the modern AI paradigm. This is probably where I got my wires crossed.

Corrections from Joe

On May 11, I wrote that “Thanks to AI, [hackers] have finally found [a way to bypass two-factor authentication].” This was misleading; hackers have found ways to bypass 2FA before. I’ve updated both Note and Digest.
