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.

In one paragraph

The federal H.R. 334 would amend section 227(d)(3) of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 227(d)(3)) by inserting "(including those created through generative artificial intelligence (genAI), for example voice cloning, and other subsequent technologies as may be deemed appropriate by the Commission)" after "telephone". Its title says it would establish technical and procedural standards for artificial or prerecorded voice systems created through generative AI. Referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee January 13, 2025; it has not passed either chamber.
