Directs Congress to amend the Communications Act of 1934 to require disclosure of the use of artificial intelligence in voice call or text message impersonations.
Analysis summaries, actor details, and coverage mappings were LLM-classified and may contain errors.
This is a binding federal statute with mandatory disclosure requirements and enhanced criminal and civil penalties for violations involving AI impersonation.
The document has minimal coverage of approximately 3-4 subdomains, with focus on malicious actors using AI for fraud and manipulation (4.1, 4.3), misinformation (3.1), and privacy concerns (2.1). Coverage is concentrated in the malicious use and misinformation domains, specifically addressing AI-enabled impersonation and deception.
The document primarily governs the Information sector (telecommunications and messaging services) by regulating robocalls and text messages that use artificial intelligence. It applies to any entity making calls or sending messages through telecommunications infrastructure.
The document primarily focuses on the Deploy and Operate and Monitor stages, requiring disclosure at the point of use (deployment) and addressing ongoing operations of AI-enabled robocall systems. It does not substantively cover earlier lifecycle stages like planning, data collection, or model development.
The document explicitly mentions artificial intelligence in the context of voice and text message impersonation and emulation. It does not define AI models, AI systems, or reference specific AI categories like frontier AI, general purpose AI, foundation models, or compute thresholds.
United States Congress; Mr. Sorensen; Mr. Ciscomani; Committee on Energy and Commerce
The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives by Mr. Sorensen and Mr. Ciscomani and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, indicating Congress as the proposing body.
The Act references enforcement through existing provisions in the Communications Act, including forfeiture penalties under subsections (b)(4), (e)(5)(A), and section 503(b), and criminal fines under subsection (e)(5)(B) and section 501, which are enforced by the FCC and federal courts.
While not explicitly stated, monitoring would be conducted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as the regulatory body responsible for enforcing the Communications Act of 1934, which this bill amends.
The Act targets any person making robocalls using artificial intelligence, including those who use AI to emulate human beings or impersonate individuals/entities. This includes both developers and deployers of AI-enabled robocall systems.
