I wonder what qualifies as a robocall. Is it just something dialed automatically? Is it still legal if a human dialed the call, but an AI-generated voice speaks?

The law here bans both the use of autodialers and "artificial or prerecorded voices" in calls to cell phones (along with a variety of other types of phone numbers like emergency lines, other types of lines where you might pay for the incoming call, etc.).

Separately, it bans artificial/prerecorded voices in calls to residential lines.

Both provisions have carveouts for emergencies or when the party being called has given their prior consent.
