In a press release, the FCC proposed ruling AI-generated voice cloning tech in robocalls as fundamentally illegal to aid in the crackdown on fraudulent activities.
Even though robocalls are inherently illegal, some automated calls are necessary and legal. It is only when they are found to be breaking the law that authorities can intervene.
The FCC proposes to issue a Declaratory Ruling that AI-powered voice cloning in robocalls falls under the “artificial” category prohibited by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
