One post, authored by Khan’s staff, was published on January 3, 2025, with the title “AI and the Risk of Consumer Harm.” It noted that the FTC was “taking note of AI’s potential for real-world instances of harm — from incentivizing commercial surveillance to enabling fraud and impersonation to perpetuating illegal discrimination.”
It is a bad thing. The role of the FTC isn’t to go after companies because the head of the FTC just doesn’t like them - they’re supposed to be looking out for the consumer. Under Khan the FTC just wasted everyone’s time and money by picking fights with “big tech” over things that weren’t illegal and the FTC had no chance of winning.
