## Summary

**Requires upfront disclosure when robocalls or texts use AI to imitate a human.** This bill would require any robocall or text that uses AI to emulate a person to state at the start that AI is being used and it adds clear definitions for which calls and messages are covered. - Families and consumers would hear or see a clear notice at the start of calls and texts that use AI, helping people recognize potential impersonation. - Businesses and messaging services would need to include the disclosure and follow new definitions for robocalls and text messages, covering automatic dialing systems and common message types like SMS, MMS, and RCS. - Regulators would be able to double existing forfeiture and criminal fine caps when AI is used to impersonate someone with intent to defraud or cause harm, and those enhanced penalties would apply to violations after enactment.
