What this bill does
The Artificial Intelligence Scam Prevention Act, introduced in the Senate, aims to combat fraud that uses artificial intelligence. Specifically, it would make it illegal to impersonate a government, business, or official through deceptive practices, or to replicate someone's image or voice using AI with the intent to defraud. The bill also expands existing laws concerning telemarketing and consumer fraud to include text messages and video conference calls, and requires clear disclosure when AI is used to emulate a human voice or send text messages in telemarketing.
This legislation would affect individuals who use AI to commit scams, as well as those who assist them. It would also impact consumers, particularly seniors, by providing updated information and resources on AI-enabled scams. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) would play key roles in enforcement and in establishing an advisory group to develop educational materials and best practices for businesses to identify and prevent such scams.
The bill has been introduced in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. It has not yet been voted on by the committee or passed by either chamber of Congress. If passed by both the Senate and House of Representatives, it would then be sent to the President for signature into law.
