Google has announced a lot of new things in its I/O keynote Seriously, read our live blog and get ready to be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of new stuff 1, one of the most exciting announcements seems to be flying under the radar as google has announced a new feature that uses the powerful Gemini AI to automatically detect when a phone sounds like a scam 

Basically, AI will always listen to calls from possible spam numbers and warn them if during the conversation it sounds like something could be a scam The company showed off this feature by making a phone call to the presenter by a representative of a fake bank As soon as the scammer asked the presenter to transfer money to another account to keep it safe, the AI would have warned that it sounded like a scam and kept the money

The AI would also have warned the presenter because if the representative requested a PIN or password, these numbers would not normally be requested on the phone While most of the features advertised for Gemini include its generation capabilities, this shows another way that the power of a trained AI model can be used Sure, more savvy users may be able to quickly find fraudulent calls without AI intervention, but for more vulnerable people, such a machine

Unfortunately, Google said the feature will not launch on Android15 The company announced that it will share details later this year Importantly, we also noted that users need to opt-in and that everything is handled by the device, so it needs to be safe We don't know yet if users want the AI to listen to their calls, but this seems like a great way to integrate the AI into everyday life, other than creating funny images that look a bit better  Google has also announced a massive update to the Gemini15Pro and the Android15AI feature that sounds like a game changer
