Bill > S3495

This bill, titled the "Artificial Intelligence Scam Prevention Act," aims to combat fraud facilitated by artificial intelligence (AI) by making it illegal to impersonate government officials, businesses, or individuals using AI to replicate their image or voice with intent to defraud, and by prohibiting substantial assistance to such fraudulent activities. It empowers the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to enforce these provisions as unfair or deceptive practices, leveraging the powers granted by the Federal Trade Commission Act. The bill also expands the scope of the Seniors Fraud Prevention Act to include information on AI-enabled scams and amends the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act to define "text message" and "video conference call," and to require clear disclosure when AI is used to emulate a human in phone calls or text messages. Furthermore, it amends the Communications Act of 1934 to define "artificial or prerecorded voice" to include AI-generated speech and to mandate disclosures when AI is used in calls or text messages delivered via automatic dialing systems. The bill also establishes an FTC and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) joint advisory group to develop educational materials and best practices for preventing AI scams, requires the FTC to report on AI-enabled scams, and mandates the FCC to update regulations concerning robocalls and misleading caller identification.
