Quashing Unwanted and Interruptive Electronic Telecommunications Act
United States · H.R.1027, 119th Congress (2025–2026)
Requires any robocall that uses artificial intelligence to emulate a human voice to include a clear disclosure at the start of the message stating that AI is being used. Also doubles the maximum forfeiture penalty and criminal fines under the TCPA for violations involving AI voice or text impersonation. Seniors are not specifically named but are a primary intended beneficiary — AARP surveys show 95% of adults 50+ received a scam or illegal robocall in 2025.
Technical detail
Amends the Communications Act of 1934 / TCPA to mandate AI-generated voice disclosure at call onset and to double forfeiture and criminal fine maximums for AI-impersonation TCPA violations.
Who is protected: All consumers receiving AI-generated robocalls, including seniors
Who must comply: Any person or entity placing AI-generated robocalls in interstate commerce
