The principal US consumer-protection and competition regulator, enforcing the FTC Act's prohibition on unfair or deceptive acts or practices.
From 2021 to 2024, the FTC was the most active US federal regulator on AI, using its Section 5 authority to act against deceptive AI claims, unfair uses of automated systems, and misuse of consumers' data to train models, repeatedly warning that existing consumer-protection, anti-discrimination, and data-security laws applied to AI without the need for new statutes. Its enforcement priorities have since shifted under new leadership and the 2025 federal AI policy agenda, though it continues to bring cases against clearly deceptive AI claims.
