More than half of Americans reported receiving at least one scam call per day in 2024. To combat the rise of sophisticated conversational scams that deceive victims over the course of a phone call, we introduced Scam Detection late last year to U.S.-based English-speaking Phone by Google public beta users on Pixel phones.
We use AI models processed on-device to analyze conversations in real-time and warn users of potential scams. If a caller, for example, tries to get you to provide payment via gift cards to complete a delivery, Scam Detection will alert you through audio and haptic notifications and display a warning on your phone that the call may be a scam.
And they never ever ask themselves “Is this ethically the right thing to do”. And so they create things that do way more harm for society than good. For selfish reasons, just because it is a “fun” project. And I’m sure management figures they will profit one way or another the more they control everything thru their AIs they shove on people.
