YourVoice.Now Summary
Requires robocalls and texts using AI voices to disclose it upfront, doubling fines for AI impersonation meant to defraud people.
The details
If a robocall or text message uses AI to sound like a real person, this bill would require the caller to say so right at the start. It targets the growing problem of AI-generated voice and text scams by amending the Communications Act to mandate upfront disclosure whenever artificial intelligence is used to mimic a human. For bad actors who use AI to impersonate someone with intent to defraud or cause harm, the penalties would double — both the civil fines and criminal penalties. The bill covers SMS, MMS, and RCS messages as well as voice calls.
Congressional Summary
Quashing Unwanted and Interruptive Electronic Telecommunications Act or the QUIET Act This bill establishes a disclosure requirement for robocalls that use artificial intelligence (AI) to emulate a human being and increases forfeiture and fine amounts for certain violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). (The TCPA prohibits certain telemarketing calls made without the recipient’s consent and using specified automated technologies.) Specifically, any robocall that uses AI to emulate a human being must include a disclosure at the beginning of the message indicating that AI is being used. Under the bill, robocalls are defined as calls made or text messages sent (1) using automatic dialing technology, or (2) using an artificially generated message or an artificial or prerecorded voice. Calls or texts that are made or sent using equipment that requires substantial human intervention are excluded. Further, the bill doubles the maximum forfeiture penalty and criminal fine that may be imposed for certain violations of the TCPA involving the use of AI to impersonate an individual or entity with the intent to defraud, cause harm, or wrongfully obtain anything of value. This provision applies to violations that occur after the bill’s enactment.
