Following calls to pass a law at the federal level,eroticism deah and secxuality the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has officially declared AI-created robocalls illegal.

It restricts the making of telemarketing calls and the use of automatic telephone dialing systems and artificial or prerecorded voice messages. Under FCC rules, it also requires telemarketers to obtain prior express written consent from consumers before robocalling them." Robocalls created using generative AI or voice cloning deep fake technology will now be included in prohibited "junk calls."
In January, FCC chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel proposed the FCC make AI robocalls illegal under existing law, writing, "AI-generated voice cloning and images are already sowing confusion by tricking consumers into thinking scams and frauds are legitimate. No matter what celebrity or politician you favor, or what your relationship is with your kin when they call for help, it is possible we could all be a target of these faked calls. That’s why the FCC is taking steps to recognize this emerging technology as illegal under existing law, giving our partners at State Attorneys General offices across the country new tools they can use to crack down on these scams and protect consumers."

The administration has also committed to "advancing potential new regulations and supporting new legislation — so that everyone can safely benefit from technological innovations."
