# FCC Takes On the Bad Guys: AI Voice Clones in Crosshairs
Oh boy, we all know the frustration of robocalls, don’t we? Those pesky unwanted calls that take your valuable nap-time just to sell you a new vacuum cleaner or the latest yacht. Strangely, it seems they also know when we just sit down to eat! But now, these unsolicited calls are reaching a new level of creepy with AI voice clones. Rejoice, fellow humans as the FCC steps up to combat this latest nuisance!
## Key Points to Remember
* Over a month ago, New Hampshire residents were bewildered by robocalls featuring AI voice clones of President Joe Biden, the plot is thickening, people! The calls weren’t selling vacuum cleaners, yachts, or the Brooklyn Bridge but this time it was something more sinister.
* As a response to the growing menace, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the cavalry of our times, has decided to step in and fight against these AI-backed robocall scammers.
* No longer just a narrative for a sci-fi book, AI-generated voice clones impersonating public figures are the new weapons in the telemarketing and scam arsenal. Talk about taking realism to a new level!
* Staying true to their purpose, the FCC is broadening the confines of its Truth in Caller ID rules. Manipulating a caller ID service, aka ‘spoofing,’ to mimic local or trusted numbers, is about to get a whole new level of “not cool” as far as the FCC is concerned.
#Final Thoughts
Robocalls have been the bane of our peaceful afternoon tea times and now they have added a new trick to their repertoire – AI Voice Clones. It’s like being in an episode of Black Mirror but without the popcorn. Thankfully, our very own knights in shining armor, the FCC, have decided to take matters into their hands and stop these AI-backed unpleasant surprises. So here’s to hoping for quieter mealtimes and less eerily realistic voice clones of our favorite celebs trying to sell us beachfront property in Kansas.

The main focus of the image is a large, futuristic AI robot pirate; dressed in typical Golden Age pirate attire, but with notable high-tech elements, such as glowing blue eyes and metallic limbs. In one hand, it holds an old-fashioned telephone receiver, representing the robocall scam. Its other hand holds a computer chip, symbolizing AI voice clones. On its face is a determined expression, highlighting its intent to battle. The backdrop is a stormy sea scene filled with pirate ships, symbolizing the battle against the scourge of robocalls. Surrounding this are small, translucent figures, representing the scammers being swept away. The FCC emblem is prominent in the top corner as a stamp of authority.
