1 Section 227(d)(3) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 227(d)(3)) is amended by inserting "(including those created through generative artificial intelligence (genAI), for example voice cloning, and other subsequent technologies as may be deemed appropriate by the Commission)" after "telephone".
This is the bill's sole operative provision. It amends Section 227(d)(3) of the Communications Act of 1934 by inserting a parenthetical clarification that the FCC's existing authority to prescribe technical and procedural standards for artificial or prerecorded voice telephone systems includes voices created through generative artificial intelligence (genAI), such as voice cloning, and other subsequent technologies as the Commission may deem appropriate.
The amendment does not create any new affirmative compliance obligation on private parties. It expands the FCC's definitional scope for rulemaking, confirming that AI-generated voices fall within the Commission's existing standards-setting authority. Any new obligations would arise only from future FCC rulemaking under this expanded authority.
