FTC subpoenas OpenAI and Anthropic following safety failures
The FTC is investigating possible consumer harms at two major AI companies.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story as FTC subpoenas to OpenAI and Anthropic tied to AI safety or consumer-risk concerns. The Hill gives the fuller agency-centered description, saying the subpoenas were part of a federal probe and quoting an FTC spokesperson, while The Independent adds only one company response, with OpenAI saying it will “engage constructively” with the FTC.
