NPR’s Juana Summers interviews Lina Khan, the chair of the Federal Trade Commission, about her recent op-ed where she argues that existing laws can effectively regulate artificial intelligence (AI) companies. Khan emphasizes that there are already plenty of legal tools available to ensure that AI giants operate fairly and responsibly. She believes that these laws should be actively enforced to prevent any misuse of AI technology that could harm consumers or stifle competition. This discussion is important because AI is rapidly becoming a significant part of our lives, and how it is regulated will impact everything from privacy to job markets.
