To amend the Communications Act of 1934 to establish technical and procedural standards for artificial or prerecorded voice systems created through generative artificial intelligence, and for other purposes.

This bill sets clear rules for phone systems that use AI voices or prerecorded messages. It would require these calls to say, in plain language, who is making the call and give a working phone number or address. It also says the calling system must free your phone line within five seconds after you hang up, so you can make another call right away. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) enforces these rules and can expand them to cover new technologies that send AI or prerecorded messages in the future. Overall, it aims to create technical and procedural standards for AI-generated voice systems so people know who’s calling and aren’t stuck on the line after they hang up.

Key points:

• Who is affected: People getting robocalls; companies and systems that send AI or prerecorded voice messages; phone carriers and platforms that transmit these calls.
• What changes: Calls must clearly identify the caller and provide contact info; systems must release the line within five seconds after you hang up; FCC can apply these rules to other, similar technologies.
• Why it matters: Helps people spot who’s calling and avoid being tied up by unwanted calls; lets the FCC keep rules up to date as technology changes.
