"FCC Outlaws AI-Generated Voices in Robocalls Amid Election Threats"

The FCC has officially ruled that using AI-generated voices in robocalls is illegal, aiming to crack down on fraudsters who use voice-cloning technology to perpetrate scams. The ruling clarifies that generating a voice with AI for a robocall is illegal in itself, as the technology's rising prevalence has made it easier and cheaper to perpetrate phone scams, including attempts to interfere with elections. This comes after New Hampshire voters received calls from a digitally generated voice impersonating President Biden, prompting a criminal investigation and a warning from the state's attorney general.

"FCC Bans Deceptive AI-Generated Robocalls After Biden Voice Cloning Scandal"

The US FCC has made AI-generated robocalls illegal, giving state authorities the power to prosecute bad actors behind these calls. This move comes in response to a rise in robocalls mimicking the voices of celebrities and political candidates, with the potential to confuse consumers with misinformation. The FCC's action expands legal avenues for holding perpetrators accountable and follows a letter from 26 state attorneys general urging restrictions on AI use in marketing calls. Concerns about deepfakes, which use AI to manipulate audio and video, have also emerged in the context of major elections worldwide.

"Texas Firm Linked to Fake Biden Robocall Scandal"

A Texas company called Life Corporation, along with an individual named Walter Monk, has been traced as the source of a fake Biden robocall that discouraged voting in New Hampshire. The robocall used an artificially generated clone of President Biden's voice and was found to have illegally spoofed caller ID information. Tech firms assisted in tracing the calls, and the FCC is taking action against the telecom provider involved. The use of AI-generated voices in robocalls may soon be declared illegal under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

FCC Proposes Criminalizing AI-Generated Robocalls

The FCC is seeking to classify robocalls that use AI-generated voices as illegal under existing law, making it easier to crack down on bad actors and protect consumers from scams and frauds. The rise of AI-generated voices mimicking celebrities and politicians has raised concerns about the potential for increased spam and scams. The proposal comes after incidents such as a call impersonating President Joe Biden, created using AI tools, and aims to provide new tools for State Attorneys General offices to combat such fraudulent activities.
