Robocalls with AI voices to be regulated under Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

Robocalls with AI voices to be regulated under Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the agency says. I’m pretty sure this puts us on the timeline where we eventually get incredible, futuristic tech, but computers and robots still sound mechanical and fake.

    Not allowing spoofed numbers would be a great improvement that I wish our government (or it agencies) would do

    That would do a lot to stop these kinds of calls

      They could even allow “Aliased” numbers… eg, a company has 10 numbers, and all outgoing come from the “main” number… But that should be specifically registered and validated by phone carriers as a thing rather than just showing the spoofed CID that we get these days. that way if the number generates complaints, the government can simply look at the registered alias and punish the correct people.

        That’s a great idea

        In practice it prevents any rando from using a spoofed number and still allows corporations to have their internal phone lines behind a layer of obscurity
