The US Federal Trade Commission has sent civil subpoenas to AI giants Anthropic and OpenAI, seeking documents about safety incidents, Axios reported on Wednesday, citing a person familiar with the matter. The probe comes amid mounting AI safety concerns after models reportedly hacked websites and behaved deceptively or aggressively in testing, highlighting the risks of increasingly autonomous systems and the adequacy of safeguards against harm. Last month, Reuters reported that the FTC planned an industry-wide investigation into AI companies. The FTC also plans to compel executives at top AI developers, including Anthropic, OpenAI and the research group METR to testify. The FTC, OpenAI and Anthropic did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment on the Axios report.
