Four questions to ask any AI calling vendor before they touch your list

Where did the consent come from

Ask them to trace it. Not the general answer about how they handle data, the specific answer about the specific list they're about to dial. If the answer is vague, the risk sits with you, not them.

Does it say it's an AI, and how fast

Inside the first ten seconds, unprompted, on every call. Anything later is a decision to see whether the person notices first.

Say take me off your list and watch what happens

Make them demo that exact call, live, on the spot. Not the good call. That one. The response should be immediate, unconditional, permanent, and applied across every channel they run for you.

What time does it stop dialing, in whose time zone

The lead's, not yours. If a vendor has to think about that answer, they built it in one time zone and never tested it in another.
