FTC Weighs In on FCC's AI NPRM

The FTC offered the FCC an update on its recent “Voice Cloning Challenge” and other work as commissioners consider a draft NPRM on consumer protections against AI-generated robocalls. The NPRM is set for a vote Aug. 7 (see 2407170055). “The four FTC Voice Cloning Challenge winning submissions demonstrate the potential for cutting edge technology to help mitigate risks of voice cloning in the marketplace,” an FTC filing posted Tuesday in docket 23-362 said: “They promote approaches that tap American innovation to help protect the public. The results of the Challenge also highlight that there is no single solution to this problem.”
