The demands run to more than 50 pages each and seek information on security incidents, safeguards, marketing materials and privacy policies, according to Axios.
An OpenAI spokesperson said the company “will engage constructively with the FTC and continue working with regulators and policymakers on policies that raise the safety bar.” The FTC and Anthropic did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the report.
The FTC also plans to compel executives from Anthropic, OpenAI and research group METR to testify, the article reported. Reuters reported last month that the agency planned an industry-wide investigation into AI companies.
