AI Voice Agent Compliance Guide

Deploying AI voice agents without proper compliance measures can expose your business to significant legal liability. TCPA violations alone can result in fines of $500-$1,500 per call. Understanding and implementing compliance requirements is not optional.

How It Works

Build compliance into your AI voice agent scripts:

1. Identify Requirements: Determine which regulations apply based on your industry, location, and call type.
2. Add Required Disclosures: Include mandatory disclosures in your scripts (AI disclosure, recording notice, opt-out).
3. Generate Script: Get a compliant script with all required elements woven into natural conversation.

Use Cases

• Outbound Calling: Ensure TCPA compliance for all automated outbound calling campaigns.
• Call Recording: Implement required disclosure for states with two-party consent laws.
• AI Disclosure: Comply with emerging regulations requiring disclosure of AI in customer interactions.
• Data Collection: Handle GDPR/CCPA requirements when collecting personal information on calls.

Best Practices

• Disclose Early: Required disclosures should happen within the first 15 seconds of the call.
• Make Opt-Out Easy: Callers must be able to request removal from your calling list at any time.
• Document Consent: Log all consent records with timestamps for regulatory audit trails.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Ignoring State Laws: Calling regulations vary by state. Federal TCPA compliance alone may not be sufficient.
• Missing AI Disclosure: Several jurisdictions now require explicit disclosure that the caller is interacting with AI.
• Inadequate Opt-Out: Not providing a clear, immediate way to opt out of calls violates TCPA requirements.
