In a white paper, FTC Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter discussed potential harms posed by artificial intelligence and machine learning and how the FTC can address them, ZDNet reports. In “Algorithms and Economic Justice: A Taxonomy of Harms and a Path Forward for the Federal Trade Commission,” Slaughter outlined existing tools the FTC can use to address harms — including bias, discrimination and inaccuracy — and how new legislation or FTC rulemaking could help. She also looked at ways sophisticated algorithms can enable surveillance capitalism, a model she said gradually hurts privacy.
