Federal Trade Commission Technical Expertise

Currently, the FTC lacks the volume of technical experts to properly meet its regulatory obligations in the digital era. This project proposes that the FTC develop new pathways for technologies to join the agency to support investigations, litigation, compliance, strategy, and policy. In particular, this project proposes that the FTC should consider establishing a Technology Advisory Committee of academic and industry experts to improve technology expertise at the FTC.

This project was completed as part of the 2022 Tech Executive Leadership Initiative (TELI) hosted in conjunction with the Tech Talent Project. You can learn more about TELI here.
