"FCC's Push to Outlaw AI-Generated Robocalls Gains Momentum"

The FCC is pushing to criminalize AI-powered robocalls, warning of an increase in scams using voice-cloning technology to deceive people. The agency aims to classify the use of AI voice cloning in robocall scams as illegal under existing law and is supported by lawmakers and state attorneys general. Efforts are being made to close loopholes and expand robocall rules to cover text messages and the use of AI, with bipartisan support for protecting consumers from the potential harm of AI-driven illegal calls.
