To amend the Communications Act of 1934 to establish technical and procedural standards for artificial or prerecorded voice systems created through generative artificial intelligence, and for other purposes.
Sponsored By: Representative Allen
Introduced
Summary
Apply caller-ID and fast line-release rules to AI-generated phone messages. This bill would give the Federal Communications Commission authority to apply technical and procedural standards to artificial or prerecorded telephone messages created using generative artificial intelligence, including voice cloning. The standards require such messages to clearly identify the initiating individual or entity and state the telephone number or address of the initiator. They also require systems to release a recipient's telephone line within five seconds after the recipient ends the call. The FCC could extend these standards to other future technologies it deems appropriate.

AI voice robocalls face FCC rules
This bill would expand FCC robocall rules. It would cover artificial or prerecorded voices made with generative AI, including voice cloning. The FCC could also include other new voice tech in the future. Callers and companies using these AI voices would be covered by the FCC’s technical and procedural standards under this section. If passed, this could strengthen protections against deceptive or intrusive automated calls.
