    Only in robocalls. As long as they weren’t also using an automated dialing system, a pre-recorded message isn’t illegal on its own.

      The article flat out says they’re being robocalled to politicians.

        What other autodialed calls are permitted under FCC robocall rules?

        Market research or polling calls to residential wireline numbers are not restricted by FCC rules, nor are calls on behalf of tax-exempt non-profit groups

        From the FCC website, this is a non-profit organization.

          FCC declared calls with AI voices illegal.

            This ban is not absolute. In this case, where a non-profit, using voice with permission, is calling public officials, in a manner not violating any other laws, is legal. This is because it is under the umbrella of the prior permission exception. As long as the person, or entity called, has given permission they are allowed to use AI voices. Voicing your thoughts, and redress of government officials falls into this category. So long as the call observes all other laws.
