As AI tools become more accessible to bad actors and scammers, we need to do everything we can to keep this junk off our networks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rosenworcel asked the firms to outline their Know Your Customer practices and how they implement STIR\/SHAKEN \u2014 a set of mandatory protocols telecoms are supposed to utilize to prevent caller ID spoofing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>She also asked what internal resources the companies are dedicating to identifying and combating AI voice cloning and suspected illegal robocalls, as well as how they engage with entities like the Industry Traceback Group, a consortium of organizations that combine resources to trace and track the infrastructure of telephone scammers and spoofers.<\/p>\n<p>The letters were sent to executives at AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, T-Mobile, Cox Communications, DISH and Echostar, Charter Communications, Frontier Communications and Lumen Technologies.<\/p>\n<p>The missives come as the FCC continues to grapple with the fallout from an <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/biden-new-hampshire-robo-call-deepfake\/\">AI-generated robocall of President Joe Biden sent to thousands of New Hampshire residents<\/a> in January urging Democrats not to vote. Those calls were traced by New Hampshire investigators and the Industry Traceback Group to two entities: <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/lingo-life-biden-ai-robocall\/\">Lingo Telecom, which transmitted the calls, and Life Corporation, a Texas political marketing firm<\/a>. Later, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/democratic-operative-admits-commissioning-fake-biden-robocall-used-ai-rcna140402\">NBC News identified Steve Kramer<\/a>, a Democratic political consultant who was employed by the presidential campaign of Rep. Dean Phillips, as Life Corporation\u2019s client.<\/p>\n<p>The letters highlight the FCC\u2019s growing scrutiny of STIR\/SHAKEN, an obscure set of regulatory protocols rolled out in 2021 to deter illegal robocalls and caller ID spoofing. STIR\/SHAKEN requires telecoms to formally attest to the FCC that they have taken steps to ensure a person making calls over their network legally owns that phone number.<\/p>\n<p>While the protocols are meant to cut down on the deluge of robocalls, spammers and spoofers that have flooded American phone lines over the past decade, their effectiveness relies in part on self-attestation from telecoms that they are doing their due diligence.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Biden AI robocalls sent to New Hampshire voters spoofed the cell phone number of Kathy Sullivan, a former state Democratic Party official who was head of a super PAC running a write-in campaign for Biden. Subsequent investigation by the FCC<a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/lingo-life-biden-ai-robocall\/\"> found<\/a> that the carrier transmitting those calls, Lingo Telecom, had signed off on the calls with an \u201cA-level\u201d STIR\/SHAKEN attestation, the highest level of confidence that a carrier can signal to downstream providers when authenticating the identity of a caller.<\/p>\n<p>The FCC<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcc.gov\/document\/fcc-proposes-2m-fine-against-carrier-behind-nh-robocalls\"> proposed<\/a> a $2 million fine for Lingo Telecom in late May,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcc.gov\/document\/fcc-proposes-6m-fine-nh-robocalls#:~:text=FCC%20proposes%20a%20%246M,message%20that%20imitated%20President%20Biden.\"> as well as<\/a> a $6 million fine for Kramer. In their enforcement letter, the agency said Lingo had failed to \u201cutilize reasonable Know Your Customer protocols\u201d when attesting to the authenticity of the calls.<\/p>\n<p>In May, Kramer was<a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/ai-robocall-steve-kramer-criminal-charges\/\"> charged<\/a> by New Hampshire authorities with 13 counts of felony voter suppression and 13 misdemeanor counts of impersonating a political candidate.<\/p>\n<p>While Rosenworcel, a Democrat, is leading the charge, there is evidence of bipartisan support on the commission for closer scrutiny of potential gaps in STIR\/SHAKEN. Commissioner Nathan Simington, who was nominated by President Donald Trump in 2020, wrote in May that while Lingo Telecom clearly failed to do its due diligence around the spoofed New Hampshire call, the FCC \u201chas never required a higher standard\u201d from carriers in the past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe problem for our action today is that Lingo probably complied with industry standards. We might deplore the laxity of these standards, but Lingo might well respond that they were in line with actions that had been repeatedly blessed by the FCC,\u201d Simington wrote.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Simington ultimately voted to approve the fine but called it a form of \u201cbackdoor rulemaking through enforcement\u201d and urged the commission to \u201cimmediately act to establish clear standards\u201d around what constitutes reasonable Know Your Customer protocols for the telecom industry.<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"3.2169657422512\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"13\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fcc-wants-major-telecoms-to-step-up-rules-around-ai-generated-robocalls-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Derek B.
