The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has made a significant move by outlawing unsolicited phone calls using automated voices, specifically targeting AI voice cloning technology following incidents of unauthorized robocalls using a cloned voice of President Biden. This decision aims to amend the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) to enforce clearer bans on the use of "artificial" voices in such communications. The urgency of this action is underscored by recent events where AI-generated voices were used in unlawful robocalls to discourage NH voters in the New Hampshire presidential primary. In response to these challenges, tech giants have pledged to combat deceptive AI use in elections, indicating a collective effort to restrict AI models from producing content related to political candidates. This initiative is part of a broader concern over AI videos' potential to deceive voters, with calls for bans on deceptive AI in political ads. The FCC's decision and the tech industry's commitment highlight the growing recognition of the need for ethical AI use and stronger consumer protections in the digital age.
We must understand AI to use it to its fullest potential. I am working to set guardrails to ensure the safety of our future & the new opportunities that come along with it. https://t.co/rUElmCkINP
As AI continues to threaten our democracy, I’m glad that Big Tech companies are taking action to safeguard our elections. But, we can’t rely on voluntary commitments alone. We need a new independent agency to ensure the responsible use of AI. https://t.co/CISHglM36V
I strongly dislike when people talk about #AI like its one dimensional. Yes, it will replace jobs by automation and creating efficiencies but it will also create new problems, which will need new solutions (jobs). Stop with the fear mongering saying AI will take everything…
Last month, unlawful robocalls using an AI-generated voice were made to NH voters discouraging them from voting in our presidential primary. This week I urged @FCC and @FEC to work together to prevent spam robocalls from reaching the American public. ➡️https://t.co/JPQU1bxK4l https://t.co/HTFzB6bBmX
AI being used to deceive voters isn’t a future problem, it’s a now problem. From fake robocalls to doctored images, we’ve got to protect our elections from bad actors and it’s why I’ve called for bans on deceptive AI in political ads.
Many people are concerned that AI videos "can influence the election." What they're concerned is that their candidate might lose, because of AI. Of course, if he wins, AI videos will have not influenced the election. Either way - one of the candidates has to lose - so, at the…
Tech giants pledge action against deceptive AI in elections // It does not matter what side of any potentially "incorrect" or "disagreeable" political content one is on…If both elected and unelected officials leverage their regulatory authority to create what appear to be…

AI tech firms are uniting to "combat AI misuse" for upcoming election. This means restricting text and image/video models from outputting anything related to the candidates, would be my guess. If you want to make parody content, use open source models. https://t.co/s1XZlmxALo https://t.co/y2TyEsjMYb
As much influence as you can have on AI- it will never be able to be, you. The issue creatives are facing isn't being replaced or becoming obsolete, it's fear of their own influence(or lack thereof). This is a personal belief that will defeat them faster than AI ever could.
The Federal Communications Commission outlawed unsolicited phone calls using automated voices. The move received urgency following unauthorized robocalls using a cloned voice of President Biden. Learn more in #TheBatch: https://t.co/lEP4Lli7DZ
AI won't steal your job. But those who use AI WILL excel... even if they seem less skilled than you now. Fear is natural. We see impressive demos and worry AI renders us obsolete. That's not going to happen. Rethink your relationship with AI. Instead of competition, imagine it… https://t.co/u5oEVwJWqY
