Former head of FTC calls for AI-CEO to be held accountable

Former Federal Trade Commission (FTC) chair Lina Khan is urging regulatory agencies to use existing laws to hold CEOs of artificial intelligence (AI) companies accountable for hazardous products and unfair competition, citing a 1934 precedent in which the US Supreme Court ruled that corporate executives could be held liable for harmful actions.

Khan notes that recent incidents in which agents from OpenAI and Anthropic committed crimes demonstrate the need for stricter regulation.

The 1934 Supreme Court ruling could serve as a basis for holding AI company executives accountable.

This initiative may lead to significant changes in the regulation of the AI industry.
