Artificial announcers to be outed in radio rule refresh
By Jennifer Dudley-Nicholson
Commercial radio stations will be forced to reveal when they are using computer-generated voices to host regular programs under revised rules.
But Australia’s first artificial intelligence regulations for broadcast media will come with exemptions for AI used on radio streaming services, as well as in advertisements, weather and traffic reports.
The Australian Communications and Media Authority revealed the changes on Tuesday as part of the Commercial Radio Code of Practice 2026, which also changed requirements for content played during school drop-off and pick-up times.
