The FCC's 2024 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposed defining AI-generated calls and proposed new rules requiring callers to disclose to consumers when they receive an AI-generated call. It also proposed requiring callers using AI-generated voice to disclose at the beginning of each call that the call is using AI-generated technology.

The FCC had a proposed disclosure rule before Curtis's Senate term, but this was a notice of proposed rulemaking, not a final rule delivering the promised requirement.

Curtis made a serious same-term legislative attempt by sponsoring S.3354, the QUIET Act, whose text would require disclosure when AI is used in robocalls or messages. But Congress.gov still lists the bill as introduced, with latest action on December 4, 2025 being referral to the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, and no passage or enactment. The FCC materials cited are proposed or pre-term regulatory actions and do not show Curtis delivered the specific promised requirement.

Curtis materially pursued the promise by sponsoring the QUIET Act, S.3354, introduced on December 4, 2025. The bill text directly would have required robocalls or texts using AI to disclose that AI was being used, which closely matches the pledge. But the measure did not pass or take effect; Congress.gov shows it remained only introduced and referred to committee, with no enactment or implementation. Under the rubric, that is a serious legislative attempt that failed to deliver the promised outcome.

Sen. Curtis sponsored and co-introduced the QUIET Act (S.3354, introduced 12/04/2025) which would have required robocalls to disclose when AI is used and would augment penalties for AI impersonation. The bill text directly matches the campaign promise and demonstrates a substantive legislative attempt, but its official status is "introduced" and it was only read and referred to the Senate Commerce Committee (no enactment into law or implementation). Because the proposal was not passed or otherwise implemented, the promise was not delivered despite clear legislative effort.

Senator Curtis made a serious legislative effort to fulfill his promise by introducing the QUIET Act, which would require robocalls to notify consumers when artificial intelligence is used. However, the evidence only shows the introduction of the bill and advocacy for its provisions, with no indication that the legislation was enacted or otherwise resulted in a binding requirement. Therefore, the outcome is 'never', but significant effort is recognized.
