Google is finally rolling out the long-awaited AI-powered Scam Detection feature to its Pixel devices with the latest beta update for the Phone app. First showcased at I/O this May, the feature uses on-device AI models to identify and notify users of potential scam calls.
The Scam Detection feature can recognize conversation patterns typical of scam calls, like a caller claiming to be from your bank and asking you to transfer funds due to an alleged account breach. It then delivers an audio and haptic alert and a visual warning to prevent users from getting scammed.
