Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to include technical and procedural standards for artificial or prerecorded voice systems, specifically addressing generative AI technologies like voice cloning.
Analysis summaries, actor details, and coverage mappings were LLM-classified and may contain errors.
This is a binding legislative bill that amends existing federal statute (Communications Act of 1934) to establish mandatory technical and procedural standards for AI-generated voice systems, with enforcement authority delegated to the Federal Communications Commission.
The document has minimal coverage of approximately 2-3 subdomains, with primary focus on fraud and manipulation (4.3) through voice cloning technology. There is implicit coverage of disinformation (4.1) and governance mechanisms (6.5). Coverage is concentrated in the malicious actors domain, specifically addressing risks from AI-generated voice impersonation.
The document primarily governs the Information sector, specifically telecommunications services that use AI-generated voice systems. It applies to any entity using generative AI voice technologies (like voice cloning) in telephone communications.
The document primarily addresses the deployment and operational use of AI-generated voice systems in telecommunications contexts. It focuses on establishing standards for already-developed generative AI voice technologies rather than their development process.
The document explicitly mentions generative AI and provides voice cloning as a specific example. It does not define AI models or systems formally, nor does it mention frontier AI, general purpose AI, foundation models, compute thresholds, or open-weight models. The focus is specifically on generative AI applications for voice synthesis.
United States Congress; Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America
The document is explicitly proposed by Congress as indicated by the enacting clause and legislative format.
Federal Communications Commission; the Commission
The FCC is explicitly designated as the enforcement authority with power to establish standards and determine appropriate technologies for coverage.
Federal Communications Commission; the Commission
The FCC serves as the monitoring body with authority to oversee compliance with technical and procedural standards and to evaluate new technologies for inclusion under the regulatory framework.
The bill targets entities that create or use artificial or prerecorded voice systems created through generative AI, including voice cloning technologies. These would include both developers of such systems and deployers who use them for telephone communications.
