The FTC, formally known as The Federal Trade Commission, will continue its Hearings Initiative series tomorrow as the seventh session commences at Howard University School of Law in Washington, D.C.
During the two-day hearing, the FTC will continue to explore competition and consumer protection issues associated with the use of algorithms, artificial intelligence and predictive analytics in business decisions and conduct.
Topics at the hearing will include:
- current and future use of these technologies;
- various levels of protection issues that are associate with these technologies;
- how competition is affected by the use of these technologies in regards to firm and industry dynamics;
- innovation, market considerations and policies associated with the use of these technologies
The series of public hearings, starting by The Federal Trade Commission in early September, comes from an agency desire to examine whether broad-based changes in the economy, developing business practices, technological innovations, or international evolvements might require adjustments to competition and consumer protection law, enforcement priorities, and policy.
