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.

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.
