Illinois needs every party's consent only for a secret recording of a private conversation, so a disclosed recording is not covered. We found no Illinois law that requires telling a caller they are speaking with an AI.

Illinois needs every party's consent, but only for a secret recording. Its eavesdropping law reaches a surreptitious recording of a private conversation, and surreptitious means obtained or made by stealth or deception, or executed through secrecy or concealment. A disclosed recording is therefore not covered.
We found no Illinois law that requires telling a caller they are speaking with an AI. Two Illinois AI laws sit nearby and do not reach this. Public Act 104-0054 concerns therapy and psychotherapy services only. House Bill 3773 (Public Act 103-0804) amends the Human Rights Act and governs employers' AI use in employment decisions.
Illinois's Biometric Information Privacy Act counts a voiceprint as a biometric identifier. It excludes information captured from a patient in a health care setting, and information collected, used or stored for health care treatment, payment or operations under HIPAA. An AI agent that builds a voiceprint of a caller who is not yet a patient is the exposure; a voiceprint stored for treatment or operations is excluded. HIPAA still binds a covered clinic and its business associate vendor.
Illinois bars playing a prerecorded message placed by an autodialer without the called party's consent. The Act defines a recorded message as a taped communication soliciting the sale of goods or services without live voice interaction, so it is aimed at solicitation. It exempts calls to a person with whom the telephone solicitor has a prior or existing business relationship, and calls made in response to an express request. Calls are barred between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. The federal rules on AI-voice calls and texts apply as well.
We found no statement from the Illinois Dental Board on AI agents. Our check was a web search, not a search of the board's own site, so this is not proof of absence.
We found no Illinois medical board rule or adopted position on AI agents. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation's Medical Minute (Summer 2024) relays the Federation of State Medical Boards memo, which reviews AI with an eye towards education, accountability, informed consent, data privacy, equity and bias. That is the department relaying a national memo, not an Illinois rule.
The federal rule applies here; nothing specific to this place was found.
The ADA requires a public accommodation to provide effective real-time communication, including text telephones and FCC-approved relay systems. A clinic phone line answered by an AI agent must still work for a relay caller.
Aida opens every call with the recording notice your province or state needs, and says it is the practice's AI agent wherever you want it to. Request a demo with your clinic's rules in mind.
