The hearing was held to consider the re-nomination of Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, a Democrat, along with the nominations of two Republicans, Andrew Ferguson and Melissa Holyoak, the solicitors general of Virginia and Utah, respectively.
"There may be things that Congress think are problematic that go beyond what the FTC Act covers and that is up to you," she said. Ferguson and Holyoak agreed, with Holyoak noting that AI could be used to turbocharge fraud by making phishing emails and robocalls more convincing to potential victims of scams.Republican FTC commissionerIf confirmed by the Senate, as expected, the two Republicans will not change the balance of power at the five-member FTC, which also enforces antitrust law. It currently has a Democratic chair, Lina Khan, and two Democratic commissioners.
