FTC demands Anthropic leaders testify in consumer harm investigation

The Federal Trade Commission has asked executives from Anthropic, maker of the Claude AI model, to testify as part of its consumer harm investigation, an FTC spokesperson confirmed to The Hill on Monday. The demand is part of the consumer protection agency's larger probe into Anthropic over potential consumer harm. The specific artifact at issue is the FTC's investigation and testimony demand, which could shape what the AI developer must disclose or change.
