Key Points

Makes it illegal to scam people by pretending to be a government office, a business, or an official—especially using fake voices or fake images made by artificial intelligence.
Lets the Federal Trade Commission go after people who run these scams and also people who knowingly help them pull it off.
Requires callers and texters to clearly tell you at the start if a call or text is using artificial intelligence to sound like a real person.
Expands scam rules beyond phone calls to include text messages and video calls, so scammers can’t dodge the law by switching platforms.
Pushes better reporting and public warnings, including a scam info website and a joint group to help retailers, banks, and wire services spot gift card and transfer scams.
