The FCC is soliciting public comments on a petition to allow AI-generated political robocalls to cellphones without prior consent, raising concerns about increased unwanted calls and misinformation ahead of the midterm elections.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Telecom & Connectivity.
