# FTC Seeks Public Comment on AI Accuracy and Deceptive Output Policy

> The FTC has opened a public comment period, running through July 31, on a forthcoming policy statement about AI accuracy and deceptive outputs, acting on a directive from President Trump. The core question is thorny: what happens when state laws require companies to alter the outputs of their AI models, and how that collides with federal consumer-protection rules against deceptive practices. It is a preview of a fight that has been building all year, as states write their own rules and the federal government looks for a way to assert a consistent standard. Alongside the accuracy statement, the administration flagged the foundation for an AI cybersecurity clearinghouse, hinting at a broader federal posture forming in real time. For companies, the comment window is a rare chance to shape the framework before it hardens. The larger signal is that AI accuracy is moving from a technical concern into a regulated one, where being wrong in the right way could carry legal weight, not just reputational cost.
