A potential review of AI policies from the Trump administration is sparking debate over the future of consumer protection in the age of artificial intelligence. The review could lead to the dismantling of AI-related sanctions enacted under the Biden administration by agencies like the FTC, potentially prioritizing rapid AI deployment over ethical considerations and consumer safety. Experts express concern that this “deploy-first, address-later” approach could weaken safeguards against bias, inaccuracy, and other harmful AI applications. Critics fear a reduction in enforcement actions aimed at promoting responsible AI development and bias testing, ultimately leaving consumers vulnerable to deceptive or discriminatory AI-driven practices.
