US agency weighs allowing AI political robocalls before election
Original: US agency considers allowing new AI political robocalls before election
A US regulatory agency is considering whether to permit political robocalls that use artificial intelligence ahead of the upcoming election, according to Reuters. The deliberation comes after a widely publicized AI-generated robocall impersonating President Biden targeted New Hampshire voters in January 2024, which prompted the Federal Communications Commission to ban such calls. Any reversal or new ruling could reshape how campaigns use AI voice technology to reach voters.
Why now: The potential loosening of restrictions on AI-generated political calls shortly before an election raises concerns about voter deception and misinformation.
