This bill aims to update the Communications Act of 1934 by expanding its regulatory reach to encompass modern voice technologies. It specifically amends Section 227(d)(3) to include artificial or prerecorded voice systems that are generated using artificial intelligence . The legislation clarifies that technologies like voice cloning , produced through generative AI, will now fall under the existing framework. This ensures that regulations applicable to automated telephone calls also apply to AI-generated voices, with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) empowered to extend coverage to other emerging technologies as needed.
