FCC to declare AI-generated voices in robocalls illegal under existing law | Robocalls with AI voices to be regulated under Telephone Consumer Protection Act.


Robocalls with AI voices to be regulated under Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

As the FCC noted yesterday, the TCPA "restricts the making of telemarketing calls and the use of automatic telephone dialing systems and artificial or prerecorded voice messages." Rosenworcel said her proposed ruling will "recognize this emerging technology as illegal under existing law, giving our partners at State Attorneys General offices across the country new tools they can use to crack down on these scams and protect consumers. "AI-generated voice cloning and images are already sowing confusion by tricking consumers into thinking scams and frauds are legitimate," Rosenworcel said.
