FTC order requires Workado to back up AI detection claims

The Federal Trade Commission has issued a proposed order requiring Workado LLC to stop advertising the accuracy of its AI detection products unless it maintains competent and reliable evidence showing those products are as accurate as claimed. The FTC has alleged that Workado’s AI Content Detector was only trained to classify academic content, despite the company promoting it as “98 percent” accurate in distinguishing between AI and human-written text. The FTC claimed this accuracy assertion was false, misleading, or unsubstantiated, constituting a violation of the FTC Act. The proposed order for settlement will be subject to public comment before becoming final.
