The Federal Trade Commission finalized orders requiring Cox Media Group (CMG) and two other firms to pay a total of $930,000 to settle allegations they deceived customers by falsely claiming to offer an AI-powered service that could target localized ads based on conversations captured from consumers’ smart devices and that consumers had opted into such targeting.

归纳
美国联邦贸易委员会（FTC）发布最终命令，要求Cox Media Group（CMG）及另外两家公司支付共计93万美元，以和解有关其虚假宣传AI驱动“主动监听”营销服务的指控。该服务声称可基于从消费者智能设备截取对话投放本地化广告，并称消费者已同意此类定向。FTC认定上述表述具有欺骗性。
点评
此案的核心法律关切在于，企业以“用户同意”与“AI技术”为包装进行监听式精准营销宣传，本质上仍构成对消费者的欺骗性表述，凸显广告合规中技术噱头不能豁免真实性义务。
