The fight against AI misuse and safety is gaining stricter regulation in the United States. The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has taken enforcement actions against several companies for using AI to deceive consumers. This action is intended to ensure fair business competition, safe practices, and consumer protection. The FTC announced “Operation AI Comply,” targeting five companies that have used AI in deceptive or harmful ways. FTC Chair Lina Khan emphasized that AI companies must adhere to the same laws as everyone else.
The crackdown aims to protect consumers from harm and ensure a level playing field for honest businesses and creators. The FTC cracked down on five companies, including DONOTPay, Ascend Ecom, E-commerce Empire Builders (EEB), Rytr, and the FBA Machine.

Ascend Ecom, EEB, and Rytr also face consequences for their deceptive AI practices.
