There is no shortage of a worldwide low wage labor force that can be exploited and can learn to do anything though.
Not saying I support exploitation of workers, but its a true statement.
There's a reason all the call centers go to other countries that don't pay people very fairly. This will be no different.
Its probably not going to require certification and stuff like that I'll be willing to bet because it is going to be a loophole that they don't need it to operate the robot.
This is all just a guess, but I bet you it will work out like that. By the time this really gets cooking and streamlined AI will probably have taken over most of the call centers anyway so all those employees will jump on a chance to be a part of this and it wouldn't be too much different than learning how to play a video game or something similar.
