David Shive is one of the longest-tenured CIOs in all of the federal government and serves as vice chair of the Federal CIO Council. He also helms the IT portfolio of one of the most innovative and forward-leaning agencies across the executive branch. As such, he’s an insightful leader with a strong read on the state of technology transformation across the federal government. FedScoop recently caught up with Shive on the sidelines of ACT-IAC’s Imagine Nation ELC event in Hershey, Pa. During our conversation, we touched on a variety of things, including trends in digital transformation that GSA and other agencies experienced over the past year, AI adoption and what’s next – as well as an interesting insight he picked up recently on where the U.S. stands compared to its allies in digital service delivery.

Top lawmakers on the House Financial Services Committee are using the stretch run of this congressional term to address the impact artificial intelligence has on the finance and housing sectors. Reps. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., and Maxine Waters, D-Calif., the chair and ranking member of the committee, respectively, announced Monday the introduction of a resolution to acknowledge the rising use of AI in financial services and in the housing industry, as well as a bill that calls on financial regulatory agencies to study the benefits of the technology within the sector. The resolution and bill are the culmination of nearly a year of work from the committee’s bipartisan AI working group and come just days before a hearing that will explore how the technology is framing the future of finance.

In an era where personal data is increasingly commodified, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is attempting to regulate the sprawling industry of data brokers. A newly proposed rule released Tuesday aims to put data brokers in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), ensuring accountability and consumer privacy amid widespread security issues. Initially established in 1970, the FCRA was one of the first pieces of legislation aimed at protecting consumer privacy. The proposed changes by the CFPB intend to broaden the law to include data brokers, holding them to the same standards as traditional consumer reporting agencies such as Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. The CFPB’s proposed rule redefines consumer reports to encompass any broker that obtains personal data related to credit and financial assessment.

With Uncertainty Surrounding The FTC's Negative Option Rule, New California Requirements Wait

Yesterday, the FTC announced a court order requiring GOAT – an online marketplace for sneakers, apparel, and accessories – to pay more than $2 million for violating the Mail Order Rule, which requires companies to have reasonable shipping practices. The FTC’s complaint also alleged that GOAT offered an ​“Assurance of Authenticity” and ​“Buyer Protection” for consumers that received deficient products but that the company did not put a system in place to honor its policies.

FTC Delivers $2 Million Reminder About The Mail Order Rule

Yesterday, President-elect Trump announced his picks to round out the Federal Trade Commission for his second administration. Trump tapped current Republican Commissioner Andrew Ferguson to be elevated to chair the agency, and nominated Mark R. Meador to fill the commissioner vacancy that will be left behind upon Chair Khan’s departure. As we previously discussed in a post here predicting what to expect pre- and post-inauguration at the FTC, Chair Khan is expected to announce her resignation prior to Trump’s inauguration on January 20. Even if she did not and made an unusual attempt to hold over into the Trump administration, the Republican-controlled Senate’s anticipated confirmation of Meador would moot the move. Current Democratic Commissioners Slaughter and Bedoya, as well as Republican Commissioner Holyoak, are also expected to remain on the Commission.

Meet me in Alcatraz 83 BPM (FTC29)(long mix)

Hello and welcome to another episode of AI Tech News Today. I’m Aurora, and today we will dive into some significant developments shaking up the world of Artificial Intelligence. Let’s get started with today’s headlines, recorded on January Seventeenth, Twenty Twenty-Five.

Apple pulls AI feature. After a series of blunders with its AI-powered news and entertainment notification summary, Apple has decided to temporarily halt the feature. Critics, including the reputable BBC News, labeled the summary tool as “a danger to the public's right to reliable information.” In response, Apple plans to make changes, such as indicating when notifications are AI-generated, introducing a beta label, and allowing users to disable it for specific apps. Users may breathe a sigh of relief knowing that these summaries will now appear in italics, but one can't help but wonder if this should have been the case from the start.

Snapchat AI harmful to young users? The Federal Trade Commission in the United States has referred a complaint against Snap and its AI chatbot, My AI, to the Department of Justice. While the details remain vague, the commission raised concerns about risks associated with My AI for younger users. Snap has pushed back, alleging the complaint lacks evidence and could hinder innovation. This situation raises serious questions about the safety implications of AI technologies on social media platforms, especially when it comes to minors.

Mistral inks huge content partnership. In an exciting move, the French start-up, Mistral, known for its AI chatbot Le Chat, has entered a multi-year partnership with Agence France-Presse. This agreement grants Mistral access to AFP's extensive catalog of news stories, estimated at two thousand three hundred daily. The partnership aims to enhance the accuracy of Mistral’s AI, ensuring responses are verified by professionals, which is a huge move toward responsible AI development.

To wrap up, these stories highlight ongoing conversations around ethical AI use, transparency, and the responsibilities of technology companies. As this field evolves, be sure to stay tuned to AI Tech News Today for all the latest updates and insights. Until next time, keep questioning, keep learning, and stay curious about the amazing world of Artificial Intelligence!

Apple Suspends Controversial AI Feature Amid Criticism, FTC Investigates Snapchat's My AI for Young User Risks, and Mistral Partners with AFP for Responsible AI Development

The FTC released two Notices of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) and an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) that would establish a new Earnings Claims Rule and expand the existing Business Opportunity Rule – changes that according to the FTC’s release ​“would strengthen the agency’s tools to curb deceptive earnings claims in industries where they are pervasive: multi-level marketing (MLM) programs and money-making opportunities.” Notably, the proposed Earnings Claims Rule is limited to MLM programs (with different definitions proposed for consideration) and would not cover the gig economy, notwithstanding that the Commission’s recent enforcement actions related to earnings claims have not involved direct selling companies.

Guess the substance (FTC36)

Aaron J. Burstein and Laura Riposo VanDruff: As its first policy initiative under Chair Andrew Ferguson, the FTC announced a Request for Information (RFI) ​“to better understand how technology platforms deny or degrade users’ access to services based on the content of their speech or affiliations, and how this conduct may have violated the law.” The premise of the RFI is that ​“technology platforms” – which include a wide variety of ​“internet services” – ​“deny or degrade (such as by ​“demonetizing” and ​“shadow banning”) users’ access to services based on the content of the users’ speech or their affiliations, including activities that take place outside the platform,” which the RFI refers to as ​“adverse actions.” The RFI solicits comments from consumers who have experienced limits on the ​“ability to share . . . ideas or affiliations freely and openly,” including from ​“current and former employees of technology platforms” who may have knowledge of platforms’ motivations behind their decisions and policies. 

FTC Takes Step to End “Tyranny of Big Tech” with RFI

As news hit that President Trump fired the two remaining Democratic FTC Commissioners Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Slaughter, many questions abound. Would Commissioners Bedoya and Slaughter contest the dismissals? (The answer there appears to be an emphatic yes – with both issuing statements last night to that effect.) Another question: what will this mean for day-to-day operations at the Commission, including the ability for the FTC to continue to bring actions with only two commissioners of the same party, an issue my colleagues cover in a separate post here.

Perhaps the biggest question – with implications far beyond our day-to-day advertising and privacy worlds – is whether the Supreme Court will overturn its 1935 decision in Humphrey’s Executor, a decision that forms the longstanding constitutional basis for independent agencies like the FTC, Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), amongst others. As a refresher, in Humphrey’s Executor, the Supreme Court upheld the insulation of FTC Commissioners from removal by the President at will – finding that the Constitution permits Congress to create expert independent agencies led by a group of principal offers removable only for cause.

Firings of Democratic Commissioners Leave FTC In Flux and Tee Up Revisiting of Humphrey's Executor

President Trump fired the two Democratic members of the Federal Trade Commission, Commissioners Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Kelly Slaughter. President Trump’s action leaves Chair Andrew Ferguson (R) and Commissioner Melissa Holyoak (R) as the only two members of the Commission, which has many wondering: can the FTC take formal action by a 2-0 vote cast by members of the same party? Can Trump refuse to appoint new Democratic members? What happens next for Commissioners Bedoya and Slaughter?

Can Two FTC Commissioners of the Same Party Constitute a Quorum

While leadership has changed at both the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission, Allied Solutions suggested that auto-finance companies stay vigilant about compliance, especially with complex activities like ancillary product refunds.

In this special sponsored episode of the Auto Remarketing Podcast, two executives from Allied Solutions’ deep roster of experts — John Elias and Peter Krall — recapped what’s happened on the regulatory front and how auto-finance leaders can stay ahead of this shifting landscape.
