Comment from Su, K

I am submitting this comment in strong opposition to the FTC’s proposed policy statement on AI accuracy, Matter No. P264200 / Docket FTC-2026-0859. As the statement is currently proposed, it does not protect consumers from AI harm. It protects AI companies from accountability for discriminatory and structurally harmful outputs by reframing equity-centered correction and anti-discrimination safeguards as potential consumer deception. We've already seen the destruction AI can wreck where children and women are concerned. Take for example, Twitter's AI chat bot Grok, as early as January 2026, users were able to create sexually abusive synthetic images using actual women's and children's faces. I have little faith that this proposal as outlined in this statement would do anything to hold AI companies responsible for the content their tools create and produce and the societal and worldwide harm it will invoke. This was not an isolated technological incident but just one of millions of incidents that occur and demand that we address this on a societal and systemic level. This proposed statement seems to enable AI companies to further doing what they have already started and leaving citizens little or no recourse to hold them accountable. Often, when Federal laws fall short, states step in and make the kind of law that should be invoked at the federal level. This statement seems to be pointing the blame at state laws but that is sometimes the only thing protecting citizens as the Federal railguards are weak, nonexistent or even protect the ones that should be prosecuted or held accountable. Enough is enough. The FTC’s own prior interagency position recognized that automated systems can perpetuate unlawful bias, automate unlawful discrimination, and produce harmful outcomes. The FTC must not now adopt a policy that treats correction of those harms as suspicious steering.
