What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "QUIET Act," seeks to amend the Communications Act of 1934. It requires individuals using artificial intelligence to emulate a human being in robocalls or text messages to disclose that AI is being used. The legislation defines robocalls and text messages to establish these requirements. Additionally, it establishes enhanced penalties for violations where artificial intelligence is used to impersonate an individual or entity. These specific violations must involve an intent to defraud, cause harm, or wrongfully obtain anything of value.
