In plain English

The FTC updated the Telemarketing Sales Rule to tighten rules on robocalls and how companies can contact customers by phone, including new restrictions on artificial intelligence voice calls. If your business makes sales calls, you must verify customer consent, respect Do Not Call requests, and avoid AI-generated voices in outreach, or face serious penalties.
