Artificial intelligence-generated voices in robocalls were prohibited by the Federal Communications Commission on Thursday. This move makes it very apparent that using technology to fool people and deceive votes will not be allowed.
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act, a 1991 statute prohibiting trash calls that use artificial and pre-recorded voice messages, is the legal basis for the unanimous verdict targeting robocalls created with AI voice-cloning techniques.
The statement coincides with the advancement of the probe by New Hampshire authorities into artificial intelligence (AI)-generated robocalls that used President Joe Biden’s voice to dissuade voters from casting ballots in the state’s first-ever primary last month.
The rule takes effect right now and gives the FCC the authority to penalize businesses that employ artificial intelligence (AI) voices in their calls or to stop serving service providers who do. According to the FCC, it also provides state attorneys general with a new tool to take action against violators and allows call recipients to initiate cases.
Jessica Rosenworcel, the head of the agency, stated in a news release that “bad actors are using AI-generated voices in unsolicited robocalls to extort vulnerable family members, imitate celebrities, and misinform voters.” “We’re alerting the scammers responsible for these robocalls.”
