Former federal regulator says existing laws already apply to AI

Lina Khan, chair of the Federal Trade Commission, argues in her op-ed that current laws are sufficient to regulate big AI companies, urging regulators to use existing legal frameworks rather than creating new legislation. This stance counters the notion that AI regulation requires novel laws, emphasizing the importance of applying existing antitrust and consumer protection laws to address AI's potential harms. Her perspective highlights the ongoing debate about the balance between innovation and regulation in the tech sector.
