FCC Proposed Rule — Stricter AI Call/Text Consent Requirements (Jul 2024)
The FCC proposed rulemaking in July 2024 to require express written consent before AI-generated calls or texts can be sent to consumers, going beyond the existing TCPA framework. Would close loopholes allowing AI voice and text campaigns without robust consent. The proposed rule was under review and its fate uncertain as of 2025.
