To amend the Communications Act of 1934 to establish technical and procedural standards for artificial or prerecorded voice systems created through generative artificial intelligence, and for other purposes.
HR 334 amends the Communications Act of 1934 to explicitly include artificial or prerecorded voice systems created using generative AI (like voice cloning) under existing telemarketing rules. It directly affects companies and organizations that use AI-generated voices for automated calls, requiring them to comply with current regulations. The key mechanism updates Section 227(d)(3) to specify that these AI voice systems must follow the same technical and procedural standards as traditional prerecorded messages. This change ensures AI voice systems are covered by current laws without creating new rules.
