FCC weighs allowing more political robocalls, including AI voices
Original: FCC considers allowing more political robocalls before midterms, including those created with AI https:// apnews.com/art
The FCC is considering relaxing rules on political robocalls ahead of the US midterm elections, potentially allowing more automated calls, including those generated with artificial intelligence voices. The proposal has drawn criticism from people worried about AI-enabled election misinformation and unwanted calls flooding voters in the run-up to the vote.
Why now: Concerns that AI-generated robocalls could be used to mislead voters ahead of the midterms.
