Cox Media Group and two other businesses have agreed to pay $930,000 to resolve allegations that they claimed their AI service offered far more benefits than it did, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) said.
Cox Media and two marketing companies, MindSift and 1010 Digital Works, allegedly deceived customers by claiming their Active Listening AI system had the ability to create highly targeted ads to consumers within a certain geographic area by using an algorithm to listen in on smart device conversations, the FTC said in a press release Aug. 27.
