FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson stated that AI developers, not AI agents, bear liability for the actions of AI systems, emphasising existing FTC authority over data breaches instead of new AI-specific regulations.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML, and 3 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to position your AI products with clear developer responsibility to avoid liability risks. FTC is focusing enforcement on you, not the AI tools themselves.
