> The US Federal Trade Commission has launched a broad investigation into AI safety practices at Anthropic and OpenAI, media reports say. It is expected to examine possible unfair or deceptive practices, including consumer-data misuse, misleading claims about capabilities and harm from rogue AI systems. The companies have reported safety incidents, while OpenAI recently delayed a model release over safety concerns.
