California-based Google has introduced a new report, which highlights how the company is fighting online scams with the help of its artificial intelligence technology. The report, which was released on Thursday, mentions that AI is implemented in Chrome, Search and Android to combat scams.
According to the Google blog post, the tech firm has deployed the on-device Gemini Nano AI in the Chrome browser to tackle scams based on websites. There is a new Fighting Scams in Search report, which highlights how the company is enhancing its AI-powered scam detection tools and claims that it can spot 20 times more potentially harmful websites now.
The report details how website-based scams usually target fake users with fake websites to steal their personal information, money or login credentials. Although the pattern of stealing could differ, more or less, the idea is to deceive users by creating urgency or offering fake offers to lure them. Cryptocurrency scams, shopping scams, phishing sites, clone websites, and cheap subscription traps are some of the popular scam traps.
