The Federal Communications Commission on Thursday outlawed robocalls that contain voices generated by artificial intelligence (AI)—a decision that sends a clear message to scammers that exploiting such technology to extort people and mislead voters will not be tolerated.
The unanimous ruling targets robocalls made with AI voice-cloning tools under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, a 1991 law restricting junk calls that use artificial and prerecorded voice messages.
