Google rolls out AI tools to protect Chrome users against scams
SHARE

Google has recently unveiled new AI-powered defenses to combat scams on Chrome, aiming to enhance user protection against online threats. The introduction of Gemini Nano, an on-device large language model (LLM), on desktop will help safeguard users against scams. Additionally, Google is launching AI-powered warnings for Chrome on Android to alert users about spammy notifications.

Enhanced Protection mode, part of Safe Browsing on Chrome, now offers users double the protection against phishing and online threats compared to Standard Protection mode. By utilizing Gemini Nano, Enhanced Protection users will benefit from an extra layer of defense against online scams, providing immediate insights into risky websites, including those that are new and unseen before.

According to Google, Gemini Nano’s LLM is well-suited for this purpose due to its ability to analyze and understand the complex nature of websites, enabling quicker adaptation to evolving scam tactics. The tech giant is already leveraging this AI-powered defense to protect users from remote tech support claims and plans to expand this protection to Android devices and other types of scams in the future.

In a blog post, Google emphasized the importance of the on-device approach in identifying risky websites and protecting users from scams effectively. The company highlighted its commitment to leveraging AI technology to enhance user security and combat online threats proactively.

Moreover, Google announced the implementation of AI-powered warnings on Chrome for Android to address the risks associated with scammy sites and notifications. Malicious websites can exploit notifications to deceive users, prompting Chrome to issue warnings about potentially harmful, spammy, or misleading notifications. When flagged by Chrome’s on-device machine learning model, users will receive a warning, giving them the option to unsubscribe or view the blocked content. Users can also choose to allow notifications from flagged sites if they believe the warning was issued incorrectly.

In addition to the new security measures on Chrome, Google revealed its ongoing efforts to combat scams in Search by utilizing AI to detect and block hundreds of millions of scammy results daily. The company’s AI-powered scam detection systems have significantly increased the detection of scammy pages, resulting in a 20-fold increase in the identification and prevention of fraudulent content.

One notable example shared by Google is the decline in scams involving impersonation of airline customer service agents, which have been reduced by over 80%. By implementing AI-powered solutions, Google has successfully mitigated the risk of users encountering scammy phone numbers in search results, underscoring its commitment to enhancing user safety and security across its platforms.
