The FCC has unanimously voted to ban AI-generated voice robocalls, including those for political campaigns.

The new ruling mandates prior consent and clear identification for any such robocalls, with hefty penalties of over $23,000 per violation.

The decision follows an investigation into fake robocalls imitating President Biden, which aimed to dissuade voter participation in New Hampshire.

Texas-based Life Corporation and Walter Monk have been linked to the fraudulent calls, prompting a cease-and-desist from the New Hampshire Attorney General.

The FCC's actions signal a broader commitment to safeguarding election integrity ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
