The FTC demanded Anthropic executives testify in its consumer harm probe. It also sent civil subpoenas to Anthropic and OpenAI for documents. The subpoenas cover security incidents, safeguarding practices, marketing materials and privacy policies. The FTC plans to demand testimony from more AI companies later.
