The FCC Outlaws AI-Generated Robocalls To Stop Voter Suppression Violations

Summary

This article discusses the FCC's actions to address concerns about AI-generated robocalls, which can simulate human voices and could be used to spread misinformation, particularly during election periods. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) prohibits non-consensual robocalls, and the FCC has clarified that this includes AI-generated calls, ensuring that prior consent is required. Key concepts of 'Donald Trump,' connection with the TCPA prohibitions and the relevance of AI technology in potential voter suppression, and tags like 'Deepfake' and 'Artificial intelligence' all highlight the interplay between technology and regulatory measures to protect consumers and maintain electoral integrity.
