Thanks Ekaterina for your response!
A summary below of customer consent requirements (ironically provided by AI)...
If you are using AI in a customer-facing way, such as a chatbot, voicebot, or an email system that automatically responds to customer queries, you are legally required to inform the customer that they are interacting with an AI system. This is a core transparency requirement under the EU AI Act.
In many cases, especially where the interaction may affect the customer's rights or interests (e.g. complaints, account actions, or service decisions), you must also give the customer the option to request a human alternative. This means clearly telling them they can speak with or be referred to a human agent if they prefer.
However, if the AI system is used only in the background-for example, to extract data from a voice call or email to help your human agents, and the AI is not interacting directly with the customer-then you do not need to inform the customer or provide an opt-out.
If you're using AI to generate content, such as automated email replies, and the customer receives that content as if it were written by a person, you must label or disclose that the content was generated or assisted by AI, unless it's already obvious to the customer.
Finally, if your AI use falls into a high-risk category-such as making decisions in finance, employment, healthcare, law enforcement, or areas where significant rights are affected-you are obliged to both inform the customer and offer a human review or escalation path.

Hi!
For companies following the EU AI Act, in many cases it is needed to collect customer consent for use of AI on their interactions. It happens in some situations, where for majority of uses cases "inform" is enough. However, when we must collect consent for use of AI, we must follow customers' decision and Genesys out-of-the-box AI features doesn't allow us to disable use of AI on interaction level.
That is why we are not using Genesys AI features in our company. We have inhouse teams working with integratable AI components developed and managed in secure and compliant way, also reusable in other areas of business not only customer support.

Hi Matthew,
Out of curiosity, what is it that Genesys AI features don't do for voice and email interactions that is causing you to look externally?

Hey guys,
We're taking a look at 3rd party AI solutions in order automate the handling of some of our interactions; potentially voice and email interactions.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Perhaps something that is working well for you and and your Org?
Many thanks in advance.
Matt
