 New Google Pixel AI feature analyzes phone conversations for scams

Google is adding a new AI-powered scam protection feature that monitors phone call conversations on Google Pixel devices to detect patterns that warn when the caller may be a scammer.

Although all processing happens on the device, Google has opted to keep the feature off by default, allowing users to activate it through the Phone app settings or even during a particular call.

Google has also added a new real-time protection feature to Google Play Protect that detects when unsafe apps are found on Google Play.

The scanning and detection process is handled locally on the device through Android's Private Computer Core to protect users' privacy.
