Michigan Attorney General Joins Other States In Pushing The FCC

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has joined a coalition of 26 attorneys general in sending a letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) emphasizing the potential harm in the use of artificial intelligence by telemarketers and asking the federal government to strongly restrict such usage.

In November, the FCC posted a Notice of Inquiry requesting input on the implications and usage of A.I. technology in consumer communications.

Such calls are generally prohibited unless the calling party obtains the prior express written consent of the consumer.
