FCC Urged to Reject AI Robocalls
An FCC commissioner urged the agency to reject a request allowing political AI robocalls for midterms. Public interest groups also opposed the petition, warning of voter disruption.
A Democratic commissioner at the Federal Communications Commission urged officials Wednesday morning to reject a petition allowing political AI robocalls across the United States. The conservative group Club for Growth requested permission to use artificial voices for political outreach ahead of the November elections. The petition threatens to overwhelm voters with unwanted automated calls during the final weeks of the campaign.
