REP. JOHN CURTIS INTRODUCES SCAM PLATFORM ACT TO HELP AMERICANS COMBAT FRAUD WITH AI

Washington, D.C., November 21, 2024
Washington, D.C. — Today, Representative John Curtis (R-UT) introduced the Spam Communications Assessment and Mitigation Platform (SCAM Platform) Act, legislation that would create an AI-powered platform under the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This platform would allow Americans to upload texts, emails, and letters they suspect might be scam attempts. Using advanced AI, the portal would analyze submissions to determine whether they match known scams or exhibit signs of fraudulent activity.

“Scammers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their efforts to deceive Americans,” said Rep. Curtis. “This legislation harnesses the power of AI to address evolving scam tactics. The SCAM Platform Act would provide a secure, user-friendly tool to help individuals quickly determine whether a communication they’ve received could be fraudulent.”

Background:

The SCAM Platform Act directs the FCC to establish a secure webpage powered by AI trained on patterns and tactics used in known scams. Users could upload suspicious communications to the platform, which would generate a rating indicating the likelihood that the item is a scam. The platform would also provide examples of similar known scams to further educate and protect users.
