What this bill would do
The QUIET Act aims to amend the Communications Act of 1934 regarding robocalls that utilize artificial intelligence. It requires any person using AI to emulate a human being to disclose that artificial intelligence is being used at the start of a call or text message. The bill also establishes enhanced penalties for violations where AI is used to impersonate an individual or entity. These enhanced penalties apply when there is an intent to defraud, cause harm, or wrongfully obtain anything of value. This legislation includes specific definitions for robocalls and text messages to clarify its scope.
