FCC to Vote on Banning AI-Generated Voices in Robocalls
- FCC plans to vote to declare AI-generated voices in robocalls illegal under existing Telephone Consumer Protection Act
- AI voices in robocalls have increased in recent years and can confuse/misinform consumers
- Proposed ruling would classify AI voices as "artificial" under TCPA, making them subject to restrictions
- TCPA bans use of artificial/prerecorded voices in most non-emergency calls without consent
- Ruling aimed at giving states more power to crack down on scam calls using AI voice cloning
