AI Verified The quote explicitly says ABA 'supports the Commission's efforts to eliminate illegal automated calls,' including calls that use AI to 'defraud or deceive the consumer,' so it supports FCC action on AI robocalls. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 5d ago

AI Verified The cited ABA page lists "From Jonathan Thessin" and "Published November 15, 2024," and its body contains the exact excerpt "ABA supports the Commission's efforts to eliminate illegal automated calls, including calls that use artificial intelligence to defraud or deceive the consumer," as the beginning of a longer sentence. The linked PDF filing also names Jonathan Thessin and repeats the same wording in the introduction.

AI Verified Verified. Quote from the American Bankers Association's comment to the FCC re: NPRM on Artificial Intelligence, dated Nov 15, 2024 (attributed author Jonathan Thessin, ABA Senior Counsel, consistent with ABA's filing). The aba.com source returns HTTP 403 to automated fetches, but search results confirm the exact wording: "ABA supports the Commission's efforts to eliminate illegal automated calls, including calls that use artificial intelligence to defraud or deceive the consumer." Author attribution accurate. Vote alignment is correct: ABA supports FCC efforts against illegal AI-facilitated calls, 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 searched for a more recent ABA quote on this exact topic to replace it, and while ABA has 2025/2026 activity (e.g., commending FCC enforcement against bank-impersonation calls), none expresses a clearer/equivalent position on the AI-robocall directive specifically, so the accurate, well-sourced 2024 quote is retained as it remains topically relevant. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 14d ago
