Komisi Perdagangan Federal (FTC) mengumumkan pada hari Kamis bahwa tiga firma pemasaran setuju untuk membayar hampir $1 juta guna menyelesaikan tuduhan penipuan. Cox Media Group, MindSift LLC, dan 1010 Digital Works mengklaim bahwa layanan Active Listening mereka dapat menargetkan iklan menggunakan audio dari perangkat pintar konsumen. FTC menyatakan bahwa teknologi tersebut tidak lebih dari sekadar daftar email yang mahal.

Penyelesaian ini menuntaskan tuduhan bahwa perusahaan-perusahaan tersebut menyesatkan bisnis lain mengenai kapabilitas layanan pemasaran mereka. Para pejabat menuduh perusahaan-perusahaan itu menjual akses ke apa yang mereka sebut sebagai rekaman ponsel untuk penargetan iklan, namun ternyata hanya menyediakan data konsumen standar.

Apa yang dikatakan orang

Reaksi awal di X berfokus pada pengumuman FTC mengenai penyelesaian dengan Cox Media Group dan dua firma lainnya terkait klaim palsu tentang alat iklan AI 'Active Listening' mereka, yang menurut agensi tersebut hanyalah daftar email yang dijual kembali. Akun resmi dan jurnalis membagikan detail faktual mengenai denda hampir $1 juta dan pemasaran menipu kepada bisnis kecil. Beberapa pengguna menyoroti ironi dari teknologi 'menakutkan' yang tidak efektif tersebut, dengan nada yang sebagian besar netral atau bersifat melaporkan serta minim komentar tambahan di luar tautan dan kutipan dari FTC.
