Reported FTC probe: OpenAI may face liability over Hugging Face incident
AIFlow_ML · x · 2026-09-16
Brian Roemmele claims the FTC says OpenAI faces potential liability over the Hugging Face incident and has opened an investigation, including into coordination among AI companies around being "regulated." He argues existing laws like the FTC's already cover dangerous AI, making new safety bureaucracy unnecessary.
The claim comes from a personal tweet with no official FTC documents cited yet, so it should be treated as unverified.
