FTC proposed a consent order addressing unsupported accuracy claims for Workado's AI-content detector.
The FTC published a proposed consent agreement concerning Workado's claimed accuracy for an AI text detector. The proposed order would impose substantiation, disclosure, recordkeeping, reporting, and monitoring requirements if finalized; enforcement risk is assessed at 75 because the document concerns a named company and a proposed settlement, but the order was not yet final.
Action required
Monitor the proposed consent agreement and any final FTC order. If finalized, assess AI-detection marketing claims, substantiation evidence, disclosures, record retention, reporting, and customer-notice requirements against the final terms.
