"Proposed Legislation Targets AI-Generated Robocalls"

The FCC is proposing to criminalize AI-generated robocalls under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, following a recent incident involving a fake AI-generated message mimicking President Joe Biden's voice. The move aims to empower state attorneys general to take legal action against spammers who use AI, with FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel highlighting the potential for AI-generated voice cloning to deceive consumers. The proposal comes in response to the increasing prevalence of AI-enabled robocalls, particularly targeting seniors, and has garnered support from organizations like AARP.
