Robocalls with AI voices to be regulated under Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the agency says. I'm pretty sure this puts us on the timeline where we eventually get incredible, futuristic tech, but computers and robots still sound mechanical and fake.

Scammers who are just recording their voice: "Oh ok we're good"

The TCPA, a 1991 US law, bans the use of artificial or prerecorded voices in most non-emergency calls "without the prior express consent of the called party."

Prerecorded calls are not allowed too.

Right, so in other words this will change absolutely nothing just like that 1991 law did.
