Steve,
Combine AI and ALE ( https://groups.io/g/ion ) and you may be getting close to being able to just request that the your system contact someone by call auto-magically...
Speaking of ChatGPT...:
"what is ALE - automatic link establishment - used for?
Automatic Link Establishment (ALE) is a digital communications protocol used to establish, maintain, and terminate communications links between two or more radio transceivers. It is commonly used in HF (high frequency) and VHF (very high frequency) radio systems, such as those used by military, maritime, and aeronautical organizations.
The ALE protocol is used to automatically initiate, establish and maintain a communication link between two or more radios. It is an automatic process that does not require operator intervention, and enables the radios to quickly establish a link with minimal delay. The ALE protocol is also used to automatically clear or terminate a link when communication is no longer needed, or when the link becomes weak or unreliable.
In summary, ALE Automatic Link Establishment is used in radio communication systems to establish, maintain and clear communication links between radios automatically without human intervention."
Troubling news about N2RJ, I took a few moments to send an email to the ARRL directors that cover the state where I live. Thanks for that Steve, I understand why you would be hesitant to talk about subjects like this.
John - Thanks for weighing in. I hope the ARRL Board thinks better of this action, like they did with their previous sanctioning of Richard Norton N6AA.
lays out a timeline that is problematic for Ria even though she argues it was not. It seems a couple of key dates occurred early last year beginning back in March when she signed the contract and certified that she had no conflict of interest and the contract stipulated the book be delivered (I presume the first draft) to the publisher by June 6. On June 14 she allegedly contacted the E&E Committee for the first time about the matter. In the thread Ria contends that it would have made no difference if she had contacted them three months earlier or when she finally did.
As I see it, Ria should have been proactive and engaged the E&E from the very start at the time she thought about authoring and publishing such a book. She is the one who set this entire mess in motion even if I give her the benefit of the doubt that she truly believed her project was not a conflict of interest.
Nate - I tried to convey that I didn't think N2RJ was blameless in this; there were clearly mistakes either of omission or commission, and wading into the timeline of she said / they said is a point past which I care to go. Others may feel differently. In my opinion N2RJ's "sin" for which she was censured was that she wrote a book (not for the ARRL), and ARRL derives revenue from publishing books.
Spot on with the AI insights. In my day job, I design and help sell enterprise CCTV systems. Started deploying server based Object AI classification software 3 years ago, now it is all embedded in the camera itself. Keep talking about it AI, it is coming at us at warp speed!
Don - "Embedded" AI is one of those things that once you become aware of it, you start seeing it everywhere. Until your mention of AI in cameras, I'd forgotten that some time ago I'd read that one of the primary use cases for the cameras developed by Raspberry Pi for their computers was for AI "vision" (robots, security, bird identification, etc.). In Zero Retries 0083 next week, I'll mention an "AI Radio" unit as I was suggesting - it actually debuted four years ago.

Ren K7JB--
Ren - Good points, all. I'm going to have to study ALE a bit more, and add ALE to the next Omnibus!

Unfortunately, this doesn't seems so clear cut that the ARRL BoD are the bad guys here. This Reddit post by KC2SST:
