The Federal Trade Commission is planning aggressive reviews of the tech sector through a new technology office that is aiming for artificial intelligence and digital ad makers, as its last Republican commissioner heads for the exit.
The FTC, which is moving forward with exclusively Democratic commissioners, is the federal regulator charged with protecting consumers from deceptive business practices and unfair competition.
FTC Chief Technology Officer Stephanie T. Nguyen said Friday that the agency would build a new team of technologists to support enforcement investigations and lawsuits brought by the agency.
