U.S. Senators John Curtis (R-UT) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) today introduced the Quashing Unwanted and Interruptive Electronic Telecommunications (QUIET) Act, legislation that would require robocalls to notify consumers when artificial intelligence (AI) is being used in calls or messages.
If a person making a robocall uses artificial intelligence to emulate a human being, such person shall disclose at the beginning of the call or text message the fact that artificial intelligence is being used.
Evidence
U.S. Senators John Curtis (R-UT) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) introduced the Quashing Unwanted and Interruptive Electronic Telecommunications (QUIET) Act, legislation that would require robocalls to notify consumers when artificial intelligence (AI) is being used in calls or messages.
Senator Curtis highlighted the introduction of the QUIET Act, aiming to ensure that consumers are informed when AI is used in robocalls.
The QUIET Act, introduced by Senator Curtis, aims to amend the Communications Act of 1934 to require disclosures with respect to robocalls using artificial intelligence and to provide for enhanced penalties for certain violations involving artificial intelligence voice or text message impersonation.
Senators Curtis and Blumenthal introduced the QUIET Act to mandate AI disclosure in robocalls.
Senator Curtis introduced the QUIET Act (S.3354) on December 4, 2025, to amend the Communications Act of 1934, requiring disclosures for robocalls using artificial intelligence and enhancing penalties for AI voice or text message impersonation.
Senator Curtis emphasized the importance of the QUIET Act in informing consumers about AI usage in robocalls.

Assessments
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.
