FTC Reverses Rytr Consent Order Amid Push for Federal AI Standards

Alston & Bird – On December 22, 2025, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) set aside its 2024 consent order against Rytr, a generative AI-powered company, concluding that the original complaint “failed to satisfy the legal requirements of the FTC Act” and that the order unduly burdened AI innovation in violation of the Trump Administration’s January 2025 AI Executive Order and America’s AI Action Plan, which prioritize fostering AI adoption.
