Policy Statement Concerning the Suppression of Accuracy in Artificial Intelligence Systems

The 3D Foundation supports the proposed policy, advocating for governance that ensures AI system reliability and integrity. They emphasize the need for transparency, measurable accuracy baselines, and oversight to prevent the intentional suppression of model accuracy.

The commenter supports the Commission's efforts to address AI accuracy and encourages the Commission to expand its scope to include transparency in AI-assisted insurance claims. They argue that consumers deserve to know when AI influences decisions affecting their contractual rights and emphasize the need for independent human review and regulatory auditability.

CtrlAltX Studios LLC, a New York technology studio, supports the proposed policy statement but urges the Commission to clarify that compliance with state disclosure or measurement mandates (like NYC Local Law 144) should not be considered evidence of deception. They argue that disclosure mandates are distinct from laws requiring the alteration of AI outputs and recommend adding specific language to prevent a chilling effect on transparency regimes.

A repair shop owner supports the FTC's action to prevent unfair or deceptive AI practices in insurance claims handling. The commenter highlights issues with AI-driven "steering" of repair facilities and the sourcing of incorrect, cheaper parts, calling for transparency and nationwide standards.

J.vd Veen, representing Jar's Rescue initiative, provides a lengthy, conspiratorial commentary on artificial intelligence (which they refer to as "SIS"), global oligarchs, and environmental issues. The comment does not take a clear position on the specific FTC policy regarding the suppression of accuracy in AI systems, focusing instead on broader grievances regarding "SIS" technology, vaccines, and climate change.

Selfient, Inc. (operating as ROSÉ) supports the proposed policy statement regarding the suppression of accuracy in AI systems but urges the Commission to define specific substantiation requirements for AI behavior claims. The company argues that the final statement should describe the qualities of credible evidence—such as contemporaneous capture, integrity, and independence—to provide a clear destination for compliant enterprises.

Fusion Collective supports the proposed policy but argues that the current "clear, conspicuous, and adequate disclosure" standard is too vague and unadministrable. They recommend that the Commission adopt specific, objective factors—such as proximity, prominence, and repetition—adapted from existing digital advertising frameworks to provide certainty for AI companies.

The commenter supports the policy statement, arguing that AI companies should not be allowed to steer outputs in ways that deceive consumers. They express concerns that AI systems are already exploitative and that steering outputs would make it harder for consumers to distinguish between real and AI-generated content.

The commenter argues that AI-generated photo estimates for vehicle repairs are insufficient because they cannot account for hidden structural or mechanical damage. They advocate for regulatory safeguards to ensure AI is used only as a preliminary tool and does not replace physical inspections or compromise consumer insurance benefits.

Muhammad Umair Dada, a software engineer, supports the FTC's Policy Statement and provides three technical recommendations to strengthen it. He suggests clarifying specific accuracy metrics for disclosures, encouraging the maintenance of engineering audit trails, and aligning the policy with the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.
