Google Enhances Pixel SecurityAI-Powered Scam and Malware Detection

New features on Pixel devices aim to protect users from scams and malicious apps using real-time AI technology.

  • Google has introduced two new AI-driven security features for Pixel 6 and newer devices: Scam Detection and Live Threat Detection.
  • Scam Detection identifies suspicious phone call patterns in real-time, alerting users to potential scam calls without storing any conversation data.
  • Live Threat Detection monitors app behavior for signs of malicious activity, providing real-time alerts to users about potentially harmful apps.
  • Both features operate on-device using Google's Private Compute Core, ensuring user privacy by not transmitting data to external servers.
  • These security tools will expand to other Android devices in the coming months, enhancing protection against a growing landscape of digital threats.
