A few key principles: An excerpt from Chair Khan’s Remarks at the January Tech Summit on AI

• At the FTC’s Tech Summit on Artificial Intelligence, Chair Khan previewed how the FTC is using its experience and expertise to establish rules of the road for AI.
• In her remarks, she noted that “as we continue this work, a few key principles come to mind.   First, we are focused on scrutinizing any existing or emerging bottlenecks across the AI stack.
• History shows that firms that capture control over key inputs or distribution channels can use their power to exploit those bottlenecks, extort customers, and maintain their monopolies.
• The agency is taking a close look across the AI stack to understand the extent of competition across the various layers and sub-layers.

• This requires looking upstream and across layers of the AI stack to pinpoint which actor is driving or enabling the lawbreaking.
• [5] And in our recent work to combat scams, we are holding upstream payment actors accountable for knowingly facilitating fraud.

• For example, our recent order against Rite Aid bans the company from using facial recognition tools after its reckless application of the technology led to innocent people being accused of shoplifting.
• [7] And our recent cases against data brokers include bans on using or monetizing people’s highly sensitive location data.

• As we continue to establish rules of the road for AI, it’s essential that we set clear boundaries on the content that can and cannot be used for scraping and model-training.
• Our subsequent report on generative AI and the creative economy lays out our core concerns and how our authorities may apply in this space.

• Across all of our work, we are making clear that there is no AI exemption from the laws on the books.
• [10] Firms can’t use claims of innovation as a cover for lawbreaking.
