Comment by Joshua M. Bercu

Industry Traceback Group executive director
Meanwhile, AI is further blurring the line between robocalls and live scams. Criminals can now use AI-generated voices that pause, laugh, and respond in real time. These tools are cheap, scalable, and increasingly convincing.

AI Verified The supplied Senate Judiciary PDF is titled "Prepared Testimony of Joshua M. Bercu" and contains this passage verbatim on page 3 (OCR lines 98-100). The related Judiciary hearing page for Tuesday, June 17, 2025 lists Joshua M. Bercu as a witness, confirming the attribution; the stored text, author, date, and source URL are consistent.

Disputed The source PDF is authentic Senate Judiciary testimony and is attributed to "Joshua M. Bercu" (Josh Bercu). It contains nearly the same passage, but the exact text in the PDF begins, "Meanwhile, AI is further blurring the line between robocalls and live scams..." The submitted quote omits the opening "Meanwhile," without marking an omission, so it is not an exact verbatim match as presented.

AI Verified Newly added recent (2025) quote by Josh Bercu from his prepared testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee (June 17, 2025, "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: AI-Generated Deepfakes in 2025"). WebFetch of the testimony PDF returned HTTP 403, but an independent web search confirmed this verbatim quote ("AI is further blurring the line between robocalls and live scams. Criminals can now use AI-generated voices that pause, laugh, and respond in real time. These tools are cheap, scalable, and increasingly convincing"). Added alongside the existing 2024 quote to provide a recent perspective. The quote supports addressing AI-generated robocalls, aligning with the "for" vote on statement #415. Verified on positive search evidence. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 20d ago
