“Combatting online harm requires a broad societal effort, not an overly optimistic belief that new technology-which can be both helpful and dangerous-will take these problems off our hands.” “Our report emphasizes that nobody should treat AI as the solution to the spread of harmful online content,” said Samuel Levine, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. The report outlines significant concerns that AI tools can be inaccurate, biased, and discriminatory by design and incentivize relying on increasingly invasive forms of commercial surveillance.
