The quote explicitly says the FCC should take action against the threat by clarifying that existing laws can be used to protect consumers, which clearly implies support for directing the FCC to address AI-generated robocalls.

The California DOJ press release dated January 16, 2024 attributes the statement to Attorney General Rob Bonta and reads: “The FCC should take this opportunity to underscore that existing laws, like the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, can be used to protect consumers against this threat.” The submitted quote is verbatim apart from the permitted omission of “take this opportunity to.” ([oag.ca.gov](https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-bonta-advocates-consumer-protections-against-ai-generated))

Verified. Quote (2024) by California AG Rob Bonta, from his office's press release on advocating consumer protections against AI-generated robocalls. The oag.ca.gov source returns HTTP 403 to automated fetches, but search results confirm the documented position matching the quote: Bonta joined a 26-AG coalition urging the FCC to recognize that existing law — specifically the Telephone Consumer Protection Act — applies to AI-generated "artificial voice" calls and can be used to protect consumers, consistent with the quoted text ("The FCC should [...] underscore that existing laws, like the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, can be used to protect consumers against this threat."). Author attribution accurate. Vote alignment is correct: Bonta advocates for FCC action against AI robocalls, consistent with a "for" vote on the statement directing the FCC to address AI-generated robocalls. Note: the quote is dated 2024 (older than 2025/2026); I checked for a more recent equivalent Bonta quote on this exact topic and found ongoing robocall enforcement activity but no clearer recent statement on the AI-robocall directive specifically, so the accurate, well-sourced 2024 quote is retained as topically relevant.
