Just a quick one today, pointing you towards this morning’s newsletter which covered the FCC’s latest initiative, led by Chairwoman Rosenworcel, on understanding AI’s impact on robocalls and robotexts.

In a nutshell:

  • The FCC is diving deep, asking crucial questions about AI, communication, and regulation.
  • They are exploring how AI challenges the definitions and regulations set by the 1992 TCPA, particularly with automation and consent.
  • The big debate? Whether to create new, AI-specific regulations (“regulate up”) or adapt our current laws (“regulate down”).

My take:

This is a significant and necessary step, but the real, comprehensive solution needs to come from Congress.
