FCC Goes Full Terminator on AI-Generated Robocalls
Alright folks, seems like Skynet is on hold for a while. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has decided to step up their game against AI. No, the AIs aren’t taking over the world… yet. Right now, they’re bombarding us with robocalls, the AI’s favorite pastime apparently. But rejoice! The FCC is issuing a cease and desist and working on a new proposal to ban these wannabe-Terminator robocalls.
Key Points
- The FCC is taking out its AI bug spray to deal with the pest that is AI-generated robocalls. It has issued a cease and desist to put an abrupt end to this madness.
- They’re not just stopping there. The FCC is working tirelessly (or at least we hope so) on a new proposal to ban AI-generated robocalls altogether.
- This action by FCC might just be the answer to our prayers. No more talking to emotionless AIs trying to convince us to buy the one time offer of a lifetime on pre-owned toasters… in bulk.
Final Thoughts
Post-apocalyptic movies might have misled us to believe that the first AI war would take place in the battlefield, but instead, it seems to be happening right in the comfort of our homes, during our dinners, and popping up on our phones. It might not be as dramatic as Hollywood painted it, but the FCC stepping in to ban AI robocalls is like Robocop coming to save the day. So, here’s to the FCC being the hero we didn’t know we needed. Remember folks, only people should call other people unimaginably often – not robots!

Instruction: “You are a helpful assistant that creates unique images based on article titles. Create a brief visual description of what an image would look like for this title. Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”
Prompt: In the style of Realism, the image would portray a modern, bustling FCC office filled with dedicated workers. The main focus would be a large screen displaying a terminator-like AI robot pirate, which symbolizes the AI-generated robocalls, standing over a traditional Golden Age pirate ship at sea. The AI pirate is fierce and menacing with a skull and crossbones on its metallic chest. From the office, a professional FCC staff member reaches out towards the screen, pressing a large, dramatic red button labeled ‘Ban’. As soon as the button is pressed, numerous red beams shooting from satellites in the sky start disintegrating the AI pirate, symbolizing the disablement of the robocalls. To show the saving of the day, rays of sunshine break through the clouds, illuminating the clear and serene sea.
