"Nice AI product you got over there. Would be a shame if something happened to it."
But what's different about this AI product/hype cycle compared to every other cycle that tech has had? Why does the FTC feel the need to make proactive enforcement warnings about this one? What about crypto? Or going back further, the dotcom era?
That its a hype cycle that is happening now, with a lot of shady actors overselling things.
FTC has done things like this during other cycles, too. Letting industries know they are aware, and simultaneously letting the public know to be aware (often, they’ll provide multiple messages, some specifically worded toward industry and others toward the public, but even with just one the message works both ways.)
On one hand, the US is surely happy that they’re the epicentre, on the other hand the potential impact on unemployment (fiscal and social unrest) is massive….

So, an "AI" (or ML, etc) version of said scheme could also impact "unemployment" in some further crappy ways too.
