Are you also troubled by the daily spam calls regarding loan or lottery? If yes, then there is a good news for you. India’s well-known telecom company Airtel and the world’s largest search engine Google have joined hands to find a solution to this. These two big companies have together created an AI-powered spam detection system that will eliminate fraudsters.
What is this Airtel-Google alliance?
Often, when we receive a spam call, we do not realize it and become a victim of fraud. Airtel is now using Google’s cloud technology and its network data to create a security shield that will detect calls even before they arrive. As soon as a suspicious number calls your phone, Airtel’s network will mark it as spam with the help of Google’s AI. This system will work not only on your phone but also on Airtel’s network level. After this, you will not receive fake calls at all.
What benefit will you get?
The biggest benefit of this partnership between the two companies will be to millions of Airtel smartphone customers. Nowadays, many fraud calls come in the name of KYC or electricity bill. This new system will recognize such numbers immediately. With its arrival, unnecessary marketing calls will not be able to waste your precious time. You will already know on the screen whether the caller is real or a bot.
71 billion spam calls blocked
The company said that in the last one and a half years, Airtel has fought a long battle against spam and digital fraud through calls and messages with the help of AI-based initiatives. With the help of different spam protection, the company has blocked 71 billion spam calls and 2.9 billion spam SMS.
Will tension increase regarding Truecaller?
Till now, people relied on third-party apps like Truecaller to identify spam calls. But now when Airtel and Google themselves are providing this feature, people will not need to download a separate app. Airtel claims that its AI system is more accurate and faster than any other app because it is directly connected to the telecom network.
When will this feature be available?
According to reports, Airtel has started testing this system and soon it will be rolled out for customers across the country. The best part is that customers probably won’t need to install any separate app or pay for it. Confirmation on this is still pending from the company.
