Google is stepping up its game when it comes to spam and scam call detection on Pixel devices with a new AI-powered feature called \u201cSharpie.\u201d This innovative functionality, unveiled during I\/O, will use artificial intelligence to identify scam calls in real time.<\/p>\n
The technology, part of Google\u2019s Gemini Nano feature, was introduced at the recent I\/O event. Specifically designed for smartphones, Gemini Nano allows AI tasks to be processed directly on the device. As a result, the AI-enabled scam detection feature will initially be available on newer Pixel models like the Pixel 8a, Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and the upcoming Pixel 9 series.<\/p>\n
This enhanced scam detection feature is set to differentiate between spam and scam calls. Users can also manually report calls as either category. While Google initially mentioned that users would need to activate the feature manually, recent code discoveries suggest it might be automatically enabled for certain devices managed under Family Link.<\/p>\n
The new scam detection feature is expected to debut at the forthcoming Made by Google event alongside the anticipated Pixel 9 series launch. This technology will complement Google\u2019s existing spam protection measures, such as the \u201cFilter spam calls\u201d option on all Android smartphones and the \u201cAutomatically screen and decline robocalls\u201d feature on Pixel devices.<\/p>\n
While specific details about how the \u201cSharpie\u201d feature will work remain unclear, it signifies a significant advancement in Google\u2019s fight against spam and scam calls. By harnessing AI to filter out unwanted calls, Google is enhancing one of the key benefits that Pixel users enjoy on their devices.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
