WASHINGTON, Sept 15 (Reuters) - The chairman of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission said on Tuesday that "everyone should be deeply suspicious" about AI companies seeking antitrust exemptions while they also lobby for new regulations.
FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson said he was expressing his personal opinion, and did not directly name Anthropic, whose CEO last week called for antitrust permission to enable rivals to coordinate a slower pace to AI development amid safety concerns.

华盛顿，9 月 15 日（路透社）——美国联邦贸易委员会主席周二表示，“每个人都应该对那些一边寻求反垄断豁免，一边游说制定新法规的人工智能公司抱有深深的怀疑”。
美国联邦贸易委员会主席安德鲁·弗格森表示，他只是在表达个人意见，并没有直接点名Anthropic公司。该公司首席执行官上周呼吁获得反垄断许可，以便在安全担忧的情况下，允许竞争对手协调放慢人工智能发展的步伐。
