# FTC Seeks Public Comment on AI Accuracy Policy and State Modification Laws

> The US Federal Trade Commission has opened a public comment period, running through July 31, on a policy statement addressing a thorny new question: what happens legally when state laws require companies to modify the outputs of their AI models. The statement was issued under a directive from the Trump administration. At issue is a growing patchwork. Different states are beginning to demand different alterations to what AI systems can produce, and the FTC is weighing how those mandates square with federal authority and with industry's clear preference for a single national standard. It is an early, procedural step, but a telling one. The fight over who gets to regulate AI outputs, states or the federal government, is heating up, and the comment period is where companies, advocates, and states will start staking out positions before the rules harden into something enforceable.
