Is AI cold calling legal?
Short answer: AI cold calling is legal in most jurisdictions when you respect do-not-call registries, obtain consent where required (e.g. TCPA in the US, GDPR in the EU), and disclose call recording. Salesman.ac ships compliance controls out of the box.

- US: TCPA governs autodialed calls; consent rules apply.
- EU/UK: GDPR requires lawful basis and clear opt-out.
- Do-not-call lists must be checked and honoured.
- Some jurisdictions require explicit AI-voice disclosure.
