NewzSenate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has formally requested that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) deny a petition submitted by a conservative political group. The petition seeks to relax current restrictions on the use of AI-generated robocalls in political campaigning. Schumer’s request comes as the November midterm elections approach, citing concerns over the potential impact of these automated communications on the electoral process.
The proposed regulatory change would allow political campaigns to utilize AI technology for unsolicited outreach. By urging the FCC to maintain existing prohibitions, Schumer aims to prevent the widespread use of such technology during the upcoming election cycle.
