A Century of Technological Evolution at the Federal Trade Commission

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced the creation of the Office of Technology (OT) to enhance the agency’s technological expertise and enforcement capabilities. The new office will recruit technologists to address complex tech-related regulatory issues, such as data security, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and digital markets. The OT will enable the FTC to keep pace with technological changes and mitigate consumer and market harms more effectively.
