About the Topic: 

Artificial intelligence poses many opportunities and potential harms for humanity. Recently, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) established that calls made with AI-generated voices will be flagged as “artificial” and therefore illegal under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991. In what other areas should American lawmakers regulate this new technology? Additionally, what specific laws might be urgently relevant and in which areas? Cite relevant case law, legal papers, and other scholarly sources to support your analysis.
