FCC weighs allowing more political robocalls, including AI voices, ahead of midterms
Original: FCC considers allowing more political robocalls before midterms, including those created with AI
The Federal Communications Commission is weighing a change to its rules that would allow political robocalls before the midterm elections, including calls generated with artificial intelligence voice technology. The proposal is drawing attention because AI-generated calls have already been used in campaigns and voter outreach, raising concerns about deception and misinformation as the midterms approach.
Why now: Voters and campaign watchers are alarmed that relaxing robocall rules could open the door to AI-generated political spam and disinformation just before elections.
