7. What NOT to do / compliance (informational only)

⚠ What NOT to do / compliance (informational only)

  • Do not use AI to generate fake reviews or testimonials. FTC's Operation AI Comply (Sept 25, 2024) included action against a company whose AI tool generated fake consumer reviews and states "there is no AI exemption from the laws on the books." Source: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2024/09/ftc-announces-crackdown-deceptive-ai-claims-schemes (2026-10-15).
  • Get consent before AI-voiced outbound calls or texts. The FCC's Feb 2024 ruling (FCC-24-17) confirms the TCPA's "artificial or prerecorded voice" rules cover AI that generates human voices, requiring prior express consent. Source: https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-confirms-tcpa-applies-ai-technologies-generate-human-voices (2026-10-15).
  • If you use drones for roof inspections, the FAA says flying under the Small UAS Rule (Part 107) requires a Remote Pilot Certificate, renewed through online recurrent training every 24 calendar months. Source: https://www.faa.gov/uas/commercial_operators/become_a_drone_pilot (page updated June 9, 2026; verified 2026-10-15). Hover and similar tools use homeowner phone scans instead.
  • Do not over-promise on AI estimates. Instant quotes are a first estimate; confirm scope on site before contracts. (Editorial guidance, not a legal requirement.)
  • Informational only, not legal advice; state contractor and insurance-claim rules vary.
