In one paragraph

The federal S. 3354 (QUIET Act) would amend Section 227 of the Communications Act of 1934 to require anyone making a robocall or robotext who uses AI to emulate a human to disclose at the beginning that AI is being used, and would double the maximum forfeiture and criminal fine for violations in which AI is used to impersonate a person or entity to defraud, cause harm or wrongfully obtain something of value. Referred to the Senate Commerce Committee December 4, 2025; it has not passed either chamber.
