Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is announcing her push to crack down on robocalls, robotexts, and AI scams.
Gillibrand is reintroducing the bill to establish new criminal penalties for robocallers, including prison time up to three years.

She is also calling on the Federal Trade Commission to investigate and track potentially devastating AI-powered scams.

“Scammers should not be allowed unfettered access to New Yorkers at all times of the day and night, and they shouldn’t be allowed to clone consumers’ voices or steal billions of dollars from them and their families,” Gillibrand said.

Americans receive $4 billion robocalls every month, many of them from scammers, the senator said.
