Artificial Intelligence Scam Prevention Act
Summary
The Artificial Intelligence Scam Prevention Act aims to combat fraud enabled by artificial intelligence. It focuses on impersonation scams, text messaging, and video conferencing fraud. The bill also mandates reporting improvements and the establishment of an advisory group to address AI-related scams.
Expected Effects
This act will likely lead to increased enforcement against AI-enabled fraud and provide consumers with more information and protection. It amends existing laws to include AI-driven scams and establishes new requirements for disclosure when AI is used in telemarketing and communications.
Potential Benefits
- Increased protection for consumers against AI-enabled scams.
- Updated laws to hold perpetrators of AI fraud accountable.
- Improved reporting and awareness of AI scams through FTC initiatives.
- Establishment of an advisory group to develop best practices for scam prevention.
- Enhanced information sharing between government agencies and law enforcement.
Potential Disadvantages
- Potential costs associated with implementing new regulations and reporting requirements.
- Possible challenges in defining and identifying AI-enabled scams.
- Risk of hindering legitimate uses of AI technology due to strict regulations.

Constitutional Alignment
The Act aligns with the Constitution's mandate to "promote the general Welfare" by protecting citizens from fraud. It falls under Congress's power to regulate commerce (Article I, Section 8) as it addresses fraudulent activities affecting interstate commerce. The Act also respects the First Amendment by not restricting free speech but rather targeting fraudulent impersonation and deceptive practices.
