Welcome back to Channel Automation, where we dive deep into the ever-evolving world of automation and technology in business. This is KC Urias, and in today’s episode, we have returning guest Gerry Christensen here to discuss some urgent and groundbreaking topics.

In this episode, we're peeling back the layers on security in the digital age. We'll be reminding our listeners about the importance of renewing security certificates to keep your websites up and running. Plus, we're delving into Know Your Customer (KYC) practices, the variability, and the dire need for base guidelines in business and branded calls.

We will explore the wide-ranging behaviors and activities that can result in being banned for life due to weak KYC practices, how they open the door to fraudulent activities like robocalls, and the proposed solutions through branded calling. There's a lot to unpack, including the role of monitoring in maintaining security post-KYC and authentication.

Prepare to delve into the world of voice cloning, conversational AI, and the concerns over their misuse in phone calls and digital content, as well as the vital identity verification tools to distinguish between human and AI-initiated calls.

Gerry and I will also tackle the challenges of personal information misuse, the upcoming FCC order on express written consent for communication, and the thin line between legal and unlawful use of personal data. And just when you thought things couldn't get more interesting, we're even touching on the humorous prospect of Gerry himself being a clone!

We’ll address the promising yet complex innovations of branded calling, share insights on the benefits of adopting new technologies early, and why it pays to stand out from your competitors.
