One of the Gemini AI-powered features Google introduced at I/O this year was a solution for never-ending scam calls. It has the capability to detect whether a call is suspicious while it's still ongoing and can alert you so that you could drop the call as soon as possible.

Having announced the feature back at Google I/O 2024 in May, Google is now rolling out its AI-powered Scam Detection feature for the Pixel Phone app – though for now it's only available in the beta version for US users.

Google has started rolling out Live Scam Detection to the Pixel Phone app, while an upgraded version of the Play Protect system will help detect and report any scammy Google Play apps in real time. However only the latter will be making its way to non Pixel phones, as far as we know.

Google is rolling out a new Scam Detection feature to its Pixel devices that uses on-device AI models to identify potential scam calls.

Scammers steal nearly $1 trillion annually, and most of it is through phone call fraud. With scammers becoming more sophisticated and harder to identify, Google's new Scam Detection will scan phone calls in real-time to protect users from fraud before it can occur.

The AI-based features are rolling out to Pixel 6 or newer first but will soon be expanded to other Android devices, Google says.

Google has announced the release of Scam Detection, a new real-time protection feature designed to shield users from scams and fraud attempts. The feature was previously announced during Google I/O 2024,
