Google has launched new AI-powered security initiatives, including on-device scam detection on Pixel phones using Gemini Nano to analyze call patterns for fraud attempts. This feature prioritizes user privacy by processing data locally. The company is partnering with fintech players like Paytm and Navi to strengthen the digital safety framework. Google also introduced enhanced phone number verification (ePNV) as a secure alternative to SMS OTPs and its SynthID watermarking technology to combat deepfakes, aligning with India's data protection laws.
