AI Scam Prevention Act: Protecting Citizens from Digital Fraud
This act aims to protect citizens from the growing number of scams using artificial intelligence, such as impersonating individuals or institutions. It introduces new rules to make it easier to prosecute fraudsters and increases transparency in communication by requiring disclosure of AI use in calls and messages. This will better shield citizens from emerging digital threats.
Key points
Using artificial intelligence to impersonate individuals, businesses, or government officials for fraud is now illegal.
Telemarketing companies must clearly disclose when they use AI in calls or text messages.
Anti-scam regulations now cover text messages and video calls, not just traditional phone calls.
Reporting methods for AI scams will be improved, and information will be more widely available to citizens and law enforcement.
