FCC Moves to Make AI-generated Robocalls Illegal

The FCC is taking steps to recognize AI-generated robocalls as illegal under existing laws. This is an attempt to crack down on voter suppression tactics, as AI-generated calls discouraging voters from participating in the primary were sent to New Hampshire Democrats. The proposal will now be voted upon and, if adopted, will provide authorities with more tools to address this type of behavior. However, the legality of voice cloning technology itself remains a nuanced issue, as it raises questions about the balance between preventing negative applications of AI and enabling positive ones.
