Body: <p>How does the legal question about agents talking to humans via telephone connection work? Recently Google gave a talk about Duplex, where an agent makes a call to a human to schedule a hairdresser.</p>
  
  <p>I wonder if there are any regulations related to this type of scenario, if there are some limitations, if the human needs to know that he is talking to an AI.</p>

  How does the legal question about agents talking to humans via telephone connection work? Recently Google gave a talk about Duplex, where an agent makes a call to a human to schedule a hairdresser.
  
  I wonder if there are any regulations related to this type of scenario, if there are some limitations, if the human needs to know that he is talking to an AI.
