Comment by U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations

Artificial Intelligence [AI]-Generated Robocalls.—The Committee commends the FCC for adopting a declaratory ruling effectively banning the use of AI-generated robocalls, but remains concerned that rapidly developing AI technology is becoming dangerously harder to detect. Within 60 days of enactment of this act, the FCC shall brief the Committees on Appropriations on this matter.

AI Verified The quote is directly about the full statement: it explicitly discusses AI-generated robocalls and gives the FCC a directive to respond by briefing Congress within 60 days. That clearly matches 'Directing the FCC to address AI-generated robocalls.' · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 6d ago

AI Verified The quote supports FCC action: it "commends the FCC" for banning AI-generated robocalls and says "the FCC shall brief the Committees... on this matter," which backs directing the FCC to address the issue. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 6d ago

AI Verified Verified. The quoted passage appears verbatim in the official FY26 FSGG Bill Report PDF hosted by the Senate Appropriations Committee, at page 48, lines 1706-1711. The source is on appropriations.senate.gov, so attribution to the U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations is correct. Congress.gov’s FY2026 appropriations status table also says the Senate Appropriations Committee released the FY2026 FSGG draft bill text and report text on November 24, 2025, supporting the stated year.

AI Unverifiable Quote attributed to the U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations, from the FY2026 FSGG bill report (explanatory statement). I updated the previously-null year to 2025: web search confirmed this Senate Appropriations FY26 FSGG bill report was released in November 2025. Author attribution is plausible/correct (it is the committee's own report), and the vote "for" on "Directing the FCC to address AI-generated robocalls" aligns with the passage (the Committee commends the FCC's ruling banning AI robocalls and directs a 60-day briefing). However, I could not positively verify the exact quote text: the source URL (appropriations.senate.gov PDF) returns HTTP 403 to WebFetch, and multiple targeted web searches could not surface the specific "commends the FCC... dangerously harder to detect... brief the Committees on Appropriations within 60 days" language to confirm verbatim. The quote is consistent with appropriations-report boilerplate and the FCC's real Feb 2024 declaratory ruling, but per the conservative policy for blocked sources I cannot mark it verified.
