FTC sends legal notices to Anthropic and OpenAI over AI safety incidents: Report

The US Federal Trade Commission has sent civil subpoenas to Claude-maker Anthropic ​and ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, seeking documents about safety incidents, Axios reported citing people familiar with the matter. The investigation comes amid mounting AI safety concerns after Anthropic and OpenAI models ​hacked websites and behaved deceptively or aggressively in ​testing. “The agency on Wednesday (October 14) sent out civil investigative demands, which help the government gather evidence and investigate ahead of potential litigation,” the report said.
