Phone scams are on the rise, and thanks to AI, they're more convincing than ever. That's why Google is stepping in and offering one last line of defense for Pixel users -- a feature that listens in, on your phone calls, and alerts you if a scam is going down.

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.

The AI-based features are rolling out to Pixel 6 or newer first but will soon be expanded to other Android devices, Google says.
