AI is calling: How India plans to tell legitimate automated calls from spam
India's telecom regulator, Trai, has come out with new rules for automated calls. As AI, or artificial intelligence, voice agents become more common, these rules aim to separate legitimate business calls from spam, scams and impersonation attempts. Telecom networks must now tell the difference. If your business uses automated calling, check that your calls follow these rules, and treat unknown automated calls with care.
