FTC subpoenas make AI safety logs consumer protection evidence
The OpenAI and Anthropic requests are a warning that evals, red team findings, mitigations, and response timelines now need legal hygiene.

- Tie public claims about safeguards and privacy to evals, incident records, and mitigation proof.
- Update vendor contracts to require incident notice, evaluation cooperation, log preservation, and regulatory response support.
