Google is rolling out AI-powered scam detection features for Android devices to protect users from conversational fraud. These features target scams that start harmlessly but evolve into harmful situations, where scammers often use spoofing techniques to disguise their real numbers. The AI models, developed in partnership with financial institutions, flag suspicious patterns and deliver real-time warnings during conversations, ensuring user privacy by running entirely on the device. Users can then dismiss, report, or block the sender. This enhancement builds upon existing protections, with over 1 billion Chrome users already benefiting from Safe Browsing's Enhanced Protection mode that uses AI to identify phishing and scam techniques.
This AI driven security system scans texts from strangers and flags potentially dangerous messages, giving users a 'Likely Scam' alert. Real-time scam alerts are also being introduced for phone calls, analyzing speech patterns to detect fraudulent phrases and buzzing the device if detected. This feature is initially launching in English in the U.S., the U.K., and Canada, with broader expansion planned. For Pixel 9+ users in the U.S. the call audio is processed but Google will beep at the start and during the call to notify participants the feature is on. The company assures that users' conversations remain private, and reporting a chat as spam only shares sender details and recent messages with Google and carriers.
