When an agency or a court sets an order aside, the action keeps every earlier step, and its status says “order set aside”. See each action’s page for the release that set it aside.

• EEOC v. iTutorGroup, Inc. (settled 2023). The EEOC’s release says the company programmed its application software to reject older applicants. The release does not name AI, so the action is not in this record. Other trackers count it as the EEOC’s AI case.
• Justice Department releases that name AI only in the text. This record reads the Justice Department’s press release API for releases whose title names artificial intelligence. A release that names AI only in its text is not yet read. The Department’s web pages answer this site’s requests with a challenge page, so the record does not read them.
• Criminal cases about AI-made child sexual abuse material. Two Justice Department releases in the search name AI in this context. This record leaves them out on purpose: it records actions about AI products, AI claims and AI technology.
• FTC releases without the FTC’s artificial intelligence tag. This record reads the releases that carry the FTC’s tag for artificial intelligence. On 2026-11-03 the address of the FTC’s artificial intelligence page went to a tag page titled “Super Intelligence”. Some releases that a search found are in the record too. A release without the tag can be missing.
• Inquiries, reports, rules and policy statements. An agency study, an order to file a report, a rule or a policy statement names no party for a violation. None of them is an enforcement action, so none is in this record.
• FCC web pages. www.fcc.gov refuses this site’s requests (HTTP 403). The record keeps the plain-text copy of each order from docs.fcc.gov, which answers.
• State, local and private actions. This record holds federal agency actions only. A state case, a local case or a private lawsuit about the same facts is not in it, and its outcome can differ from the federal one.
