AI ethics, tech regulation and the rising currency of trust
This report is available to those subscribed to the Digital Consumer or Mobile Operators and Networks modules.
AI advances come at a time when several societal undercurrents are moving in different directions. Public trust in companies has fallen to a record low. Political discourse and geopolitical alliances have polarised. In contrast, the influencing power of consumers has increased to record highs, with the millennial generation prepared to vote with their feet. Social media platforms have shattered all barriers to expression but, in so doing, have become unwitting conduits to a ‘post-truth’ era. In this context, what are the implications for the future viability of self-regulation in the tech sector and the changing value of corporate reputation and trust in the eyes of consumers?

AI opens a new front in the fight against unwanted calls to fixed lines
Although the number of unwanted calls to fixed lines has been decreasing due to efforts from stakeholders (including operators, network and customer-premises equipment vendors and regulators), the emergence of AI, especially generative AI, could reverse this trend while also making consumers more vulnerable to scams. However, AI can also be used to tackle the scourge of unwanted calls. In this report, we examine the approach taken by key stakeholders in various countries, notably the UK and the US, highlighting some of the risks and opportunities in the struggle against unwanted calls.
