What this bill does
The proposed "QUIET Act" would require that any robocall using artificial intelligence (AI) to sound like a human must begin with a disclosure stating that AI is being used. The bill also doubles the maximum fines and criminal penalties for certain violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) when AI is used to impersonate someone with the intent to defraud, cause harm, or wrongfully obtain something of value. This increase in penalties would apply to violations occurring after the bill becomes law.
This legislation affects individuals and entities making robocalls, particularly those employing AI to emulate human voices. It also impacts those who violate TCPA rules using AI for impersonation. The bill defines robocalls broadly, encompassing automated dialing and artificially generated messages or voices, while excluding calls requiring substantial human intervention.
S. 3354 was introduced in the Senate on December 4, 2025, and has been referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. It is currently in the early stages of the legislative process.

Official summary
Quashing Unwanted and Interruptive Electronic Telecommunications Act or the QUIET Act
This bill establishes a disclosure requirement for robocalls that use artificial intelligence (AI) to emulate a human being and increases forfeiture and fine amounts for certain violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). (The TCPA prohibits certain telemarketing calls made without the recipient’s consent and using specified automated technologies.)
Specifically, any robocall that uses AI to emulate a human being must include a disclosure at the beginning of the message indicating that AI is being used. Under the bill, robocalls are defined as calls made or text messages sent (1) using automatic dialing technology, or (2) using an artificially generated message or an artificial or prerecorded voice. Calls or texts that are made or sent using equipment that requires substantial human intervention are excluded.
Further, the bill doubles the maximum forfeiture penalty and criminal fine that may be imposed for certain violations of the TCPA involving the use of AI to impersonate an individual or entity with the intent to defraud, cause harm, or wrongfully obtain anything of value. This provision applies to violations that occur after the bill’s enactment.
