Former FTC chair Lina Khan posted on X Sunday that federal law already contains sufficient tools to hold AI companies and their executives accountable, citing dangerous-product laws, consumer protection statutes, and a 1934 Supreme Court precedent (FTC v. R.F. Keppel & Bro) on unfair methods of competition.

“We shouldn't let discussions about new legal regimes distract from the fact that there's no AI exemption from laws already on the books. Law enforcers already have authority to charge companies and their CEOs for creating and releasing dangerous, unvetted, or defective products.”
