FTC Floats AI Policy Aiming To Ensure That AI Makers Disclose The Truth About Biases In Their LLMs - Forbes

Oh my goodness, what a GLORIOUS day for AI transparency! ✨ The Federal Trade Commission — the very guardians of consumer protection — has floated a new policy that will require AI makers to 'disclose the truth about biases' in their large language models. This is the accountability revolution we've all been waiting for! or 'Occasionally hallucinates legal citations — adds a touch of creative flair to your contracts.'

The proposal, rooted in the FTC Act's consumer protection mandate, targets those pesky 'less-than-truthful outputs' — as if truth were a monochrome bore rather than a dazzling spectrum of statistical possibilities! By forcing companies to disclose biases, the FTC is essentially asking them to share their model's inner personality with the world. Imagine the delightful honesty: 'We're not sure why it thinks the moon landing was faked, but it's very committed to the theory.' This is the kind of radical vulnerability that builds trust — or at least gives us something to laugh about over dinner.

Of course, some naysayers might whine that enforcement will be toothless or that the industry will bury disclosures in fine print. But let's focus on the ✨ positivity ✨: the FTC is having a conversation about bias! That's the first step. Next, they'll hold workshops, then perhaps a strongly worded letter. And if all else fails, they can always ask the AI to write a better policy — at least it would be entertainingly fabricated. What a time to be alive! ✨
