Google Is Using On-Device AI to Spot Scam Texts and Investment Fraud

Google has announced that it is now using on-device artificial intelligence (AI) to help users spot scam texts and investment fraud.

This new feature will be available to users of Google’s Messages app, which is the default messaging app on many Android smartphones.

By using on-device AI, Google can analyze text messages in real-time to identify potential scams and fraudulent schemes.

This technology is particularly important as scammers frequently use text messages to trick unsuspecting victims into giving up personal information or sending money.

With this new feature, Google hopes to empower users to make more informed decisions and protect themselves from falling victim to fraud.

The use of on-device AI also ensures that user data remains secure and private, as messages are analyzed directly on the device without being sent to the cloud.

Google’s ongoing efforts to combat cybercrime and protect users from online threats demonstrate its commitment to providing a safe and secure online experience.

Users can enable this new feature in the Settings menu of the Messages app and receive real-time alerts when suspicious texts are detected.

By leveraging the power of AI, Google is making significant strides in the fight against scam texts and investment fraud, helping to keep users safe in an increasingly digital world.

As technology continues to evolve, it is crucial for companies like Google to stay ahead of cybercriminals and protect users from malicious activity.
