AI Verified The quote explicitly praises the FCC/Commission action as "an important step in the right direction" to stop bad actors from using AI, which clearly implies support for the FCC addressing AI-generated robocalls, even though Congress is not named. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 5d ago

AI Verified The official USTelecom page dated February 8, 2024 says the statement is attributable to Josh Bercu and contains this exact passage as part of a longer sentence; after “turn to AI,” the source continues with additional text (“to sidestep the law…”). So the attribution and source are correct, and the submitted quote is a real verbatim excerpt, not the full published sentence.

AI Verified Quote by Josh Bercu (USTelecom policy VP / Executive Director of the Industry Traceback Group). WebFetch of the ustelecom.org source returned HTTP 403, but an independent web search confirmed the quote ("Chairwoman Rosenworcel and the Commission's action today is an important step in the right direction, making it clear bad actors cannot simply turn to AI") as USTelecom's official response to the FCC's February 2024 Declaratory Ruling making AI-generated voices in robocalls illegal under the TCPA. Author attribution correct, year 2024 correct. The quote supports FCC action against AI robocalls, aligning with the "for" vote on statement #415 (directing the FCC to address AI-generated robocalls). The quote is from 2024 but remains relevant; keeping it and adding a recent (2025) Bercu quote alongside. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 12d ago
