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 introduced real-time scam detection on Pixel phones to protect users from fraud during calls. AI-powered Scam Detection alerts users to potential fraud with audio, haptic feedback, and visual warnings.

Here's how the feature works. When you place or make a call, the onboard AI listens to your conversation. On the Pixel 9 series , Gemini Nano conducts the detection, while for the Pixel 6 and above, it's an older learning model.

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.
