Remember those annoying robocalls where a voice that sounds suspiciously like your grandma (or another trustworthy female) tries to sell you a car warranty, insurance, or something else? The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) just slammed the brakes on that tactic. In a unanimous decision, the FCC has declared robocalls that utilize AI-generated voices illegal. This move targets scammers who leverage this technology to impersonate trusted individuals or create a false sense of urgency, making it harder for consumers to distinguish between legitimate calls and scams.
The FCC’s decision strengthens the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), a 1991 law that restricts unsolicited calls using prerecorded or artificial voices. With AI-powered voice cloning becoming increasingly sophisticated, the FCC has effectively classified these generated voices as “artificial” under the TCPA. This expands the legal avenues for state attorneys general to pursue those behind these deceptive robocalls.
While the fight against robocalls is far from over, this ruling is a significant step towards protecting consumers from falling victim to cunning scams.
