FTC subpoenaed Anthropic and OpenAI, seeking documents on safety incidents, privacy policies and safeguards. Civil investigative demands went out Wednesday, two weeks after the agency opened its probe

What happened: The FTC issued subpoenas to Anthropic and OpenAI seeking documents on safety incidents, privacy policies and safeguards, after sending civil investigative demands on Wednesday. Third-party organizations will also receive subpoenas later. Key numbers: 64% of U.S. adults think AI is developing "too fast"; 8 in 10 said government oversight of AI is "extremely" or "very" important. Why it matters: The FTC could compel the companies to testify before Congress about their products, as public wariness about AI harms grows. President Trump has resisted calls to slow AI development.
