CRIME/MISDEMEANOR: Provides for the unlawful use of artificial intelligence in telephone calls (OR SEE FISC NOTE LF EX)

HB 686 requires anyone making a phone call created using artificial intelligence to clearly disclose at the start that the message was generated by AI. It bans calls without this disclosure, imposing fines up to $750 or up to six months in jail for violations. The law applies to all AI-generated calls, including automated ones, and references an existing definition of "artificial intelligence" from another statute. This directly affects businesses or individuals using AI for phone communications, such as customer service or marketing calls.
