The FTC's consistent enforcement has created a stable, evolving body of precedent, akin to common law. This allows companies to understand what actions are acceptable and which are not. #FTC #Regulation #BusinessLaw

AI shouldn't bypass your thinking. Use it to enhance your thought process, like getting feedback that sharpens your mind and writing. That's how AI makes you a better thinker. #AI #Productivity

Regulating AI requires balancing human values with its technical nature, considering diverse stakeholder perspectives. Law's challenge is to create structures for constructive contestation over these differing understandings. #AILaw #TechRegulation #Stakeholders

Tech creators exploit a core design principle: defaults are sticky. Most users never change them, allowing companies to set defaults that maximize data collection and sharing, often against user intent. #TechDesign #Privacy

AI is currently the biggest money-losing venture in human history, spending a trillion dollars to make only $50 billion. #AIbubble #TechEconomics

Using AI to wholly generate output and pass it off as expertise is troubling. It's a misrepresentation that lacks answerability and genuine thought. The challenge is telling the difference when AI substitutes thinking instead of enhancing it. #AIethics #Scholarship #Authenticity

Will law govern AI, or will AI govern law? This isn't just a legal question; it's a profound choice shaping our entire rule of law society. #AIGovernance #RuleOfLaw

Markets thrive on predictability. Even shifts in policy are manageable, but uncertainty? That's the real killer for jobs, growth, and future planning. #MarketStability #Business #Economics

Technological design holds immense power, shaping our online interactions and behaviors. Effective regulation must address design itself, not just the tech. #TechRegulation #Design

AI adoption is high, but is it truly demanded? Unlike the dot-com era, where employees clamored for web access, today's workplace sees a reluctance to use AI. #AI #Workplace

CEOs freak out when told the FTC could impose a 20-year consent decree. That's the real power, not the fine. #Privacy #FTC #Business

AI is being thrust upon us, but who benefits and who is harmed? Corey Doctorow's book urges us to focus on the impact, not just the tech. #AI #Tech

Saying it's illegal to send personal data from Europe to the US would get laughs. This 'ridiculous' barrier impacts jobs, economies, and wages. Trade needs to flow, not be artificially blocked. #DataPrivacy #GlobalTrade

The FTC experienced a significant shift in the 1970s, a sharp lurch to the left that surprised many. This period was so impactful that the agency grappled with its reputation and a sense of "PTSD" for decades. #FTC #Regulation #TechLaw

The FTC's recent AI policy statement raises eyebrows, appearing politically motivated with concerns about AI output leaning left. This contrasts with their usual focus on consumer harm, like a study on children and chatbots, especially during economic growth. #FTC #AI #Policy

The FTC's independence is compromised when its executor serves at the pleasure of the West Wing. This precedent turns the agency into a policy arm of the White House. #FTC #Government #Policy

Major shifts are happening at the FTC. With the firing of Democratic commissioners and a Supreme Court ruling, the agency could be radically different from its past. #FTC #Regulation
