The company has been facing issues with so many cyber crimes committed and most of them involve tactics that can be hard to trace for the normal users. These new AI features are being tested and likely to be adopted in the coming Chrome updates.
Google AI To Fight Against Scams
These online scams are on the rise, and Google can surely use its clout to tackle the issues and help avoid them falling into the trap. The AI-powered feature promises real-time protection against dangerous websites and any file that you download.
The recent wedding card scam is a good example of these attacks and Google has the nous and reach to make a difference.
The company is also trying to help understand the websites that are trustworthy. The details about the site will be easily accessible. Google will be using the support for platforms like Trust Pilot, Scam Advisor and Google itself to give the details.
Google also has its Play Protect feature built into the Play Store that assures you of protection against malicious apps that you might mistakenly download on your Android phone. The company has also changed its stance over sideloading of apps, which is one of the special aspects of using an open-source platform.
