AI and DNC Compliance

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming marketing, and compliance frameworks are working hard to keep up. AI-generated calls, voice cloning, and autodialed text messages have introduced new risks that regulators are beginning to address aggressively. As technology evolves, companies must rethink how they manage Do Not Call (DNC) compliance—or risk falling behind.

From updated interpretations of existing laws to new rulemaking on the horizon, the future of DNC compliance will demand more precision, transparency, and proactive management than ever before.

"AI can increase outreach velocity, which makes consistency and proof even more important. Document your rules, keep opt-out pathways clear, and maintain audit-ready records that demonstrate consents and opt-outs were honored end-to-end."

How Compliance Regulations Have Shifted With AI

In early 2024, the FCC issued a Declaratory Ruling confirming that AI-generated voices are classified as "artificial voices" under the TCPA. This means that any outbound call featuring an AI-generated voice requires prior express consent, just like prerecorded messages.

The FCC also proposed additional regulations that would:

• Require clear and conspicuous disclosure that a call or text may include AI-generated content.
• Mandate new identification standards for calls using AI technologies.
• Explore how AI-detection and authentication tools could be integrated into compliance frameworks.

At the same time, the FTC and state regulators are targeting deceptive AI practices, particularly around impersonation and fraud, further tightening expectations for legitimate businesses.

Looking ahead, companies should expect expanded consent requirements, AI-specific disclosures, and deeper scrutiny of any outbound communication that leverages automation or artificial voice technologies.

Why AI-Powered Marketing Presents New Risks

AI marketing tools offer efficiency, but they also open the door to compliance vulnerabilities. Risks include:

• Deceptive impressions: Voice cloning and synthetic voices could mislead recipients if not disclosed properly.
• Increased mobile exposure: As mobile numbers dominate contact lists, mistakes around consent for autodialed texts or calls can trigger immediate liability.
• Consent complications: If AI is involved in message generation, brands may face expectations for even more specific and layered consent.

The gap between what technology can do and what regulations require is narrowing quickly, and brands cannot afford to assume that past consent practices will meet future scrutiny.
