With scammers costing victims $1 trillion each year, Google is fighting back with the help of AI and Pixel smartphone users are first in line. Here’s what we know.

Google has launched a new feature for Pixel phones that uses AI to detect scam calls in real time. The "Scam Detection" feature, initially unveiled at Google I/O in May, is now available for Pixel users from the Pixel 6 to the latest Pixel 9 models.

When’s the last time you got a call from an actual, genuine person that you don’t already know? I’m struggling to remember anything in the last three months that wasn’t a scammer, either some poor schmuck working in an organized crime call center or just a recording on the other end of an autodialer.
