Gurugram. Airtel on Wednesday launched an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool to stop spam calls and messages. Through this AI tool, users will be able to detect spam as soon as calls and messages arrive.
A few days ago, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) had given strict orders to telecom companies to stop spam calls and messages. Talking to , Airtel's Managing Director and CEO Gopal Vittal said, “99.5% of spam messages and 97% of spam calls can be easily identified through this AI tool.”
Explaining the AI model, he said that our network receives 1.5 billion messages and 2.5 billion calls every day. Through this AI model, we can track every message and call in 2 milliseconds and test it on 250 parameters to tell whether the call and message are spam or not.
Vittal said that Airtel had been working on this AI model for about a year. Information given by Airtel said that after the arrival of this AI tool, whenever users receive a spam call or message, the word spam will appear on their dial pad. With this, users will be able to easily identify spam calls and messages.
Vittal further said that users will become alert by getting information about spam on the dial pad. This will also reduce the risk of fraud. Currently, we are able to identify 97 percent spam calls through this AI tool. We are trying to cover the remaining 3 percent in the coming time.
Further said that this service is free for all users and there is no need to download any special application for this. Earlier, TRAI had ordered all telecom companies to block all messages with unverified URL or APK from September 1, 2024. Then later its deadline was extended by one month.
