Google introduces AI-Powered Scam Detection, an innovative feature for Android smartphones that will help recognize fraudulent messages. The special algorithm will analyze the chats in the Google Message app and will warn users of the possible danger. The function is available in the US, Canada and the United Kingdom.
Artificial intelligence scans input messages and detects templates that are usually used by fraudsters. If the system finds a risk, a notification with the symbol of the shield appears on the screen: “Suspicious activity is revealed. Common frauds often start that way. ” The user is offered to block the sender and report fraud. If he does this, the information is transmitted by Google and mobile operators. Privacy is saved - messages are analyzed directly on the device and not transmitted to Google. In 2024, more than $ 1 trillion was abducted from smartphone owners using SMS, MMS and RCS. Most fraudulent schemes start with text messages or phone calls. Google is investing in a Shi model that will detect dangerous conversations in real time and help protect the personal data of users.
AI-Powered Scam Detection will be enabled by default for Google Messages users in the US, Canada and the United Kingdom. The system will only work for messages from unfamiliar contacts.
