Reconfigured FCC Consumer Advisory Committee Will Focus on AI

The FCC announced on Tuesday the relaunch of its Consumer Advisory Committee, with a special focus on AI. The first meeting will be April 4, starting at 10:30 a.m. EDT. The CAC had its last meeting under the previous cycle in August (see 2208300059). “As AI rapidly advances, illegal calls utilize more sophisticated tactics, and too many communications tools potentially leave limited-English speaks behind, we are committed to actively engaging these challenges and opportunities today and looking into the future,” said FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel. The co-chairs for this cycle are Claudia Ruiz, civil rights analyst at UnidosUS, and John Breyault, vice president-public policy, telecommunications and fraud, at the National Consumers League.
