I've been asked an intriguing question. Would the #Google and #Microsoft AI systems to listen in on calls to "detect scams" or other matters violate wiretapping laws, at least in some states?
I am definitely not a lawyer, but in states (e.g. California) that require both parties to agree to recording or monitoring of a call by a third party, the answer is not at all clear, absent the caller being provided with a start of call message like "your call is being monitored by Google AI".
Hmm.
