The FCC might let political groups send you more AI robocalls.
It banned AI robocalls in 2024, but the Associated Press reports Brendan Carr’s FCC is considering a waiver that would allow political calls “using an artificial or prerecorded voice—including an AI-generated voice— without obtaining prior express consent.” If the waiver’s granted, it could mean an influx of AI calls ahead of the midterm elections.
TL;DR
- The FCC is considering a waiver related to AI robocalls.
- The waiver would allow political groups to use AI-generated voices in calls without prior express consent.
- This move could lead to an increase in AI robocalls before the midterm elections.
- The FCC had previously banned AI robocalls in 2024.
