Android gets AI defenses against messaging scams, fake calls

Google announced new AI-powered defenses against scam messages and call-forwarding abuse on Android, currently rolling out to eligible devices.

The new measures aim to address the increased sophistication of scams targeting mobile users, including fraudulent bank alerts and voice-cloning attacks.

“Mobile scams have evolved far beyond basic robocalls and phishing texts, turning into sophisticated operations that use spoofed numbers, fake bank alerts, and AI voice cloning,” Google says.

“With scams growing harder to spot, it’s nearly impossible for users to catch every red flag themselves,” added the tech giant.
