Google has announced updates for the Android device ecosystem, including a new feature for detecting deepfake phone scams. This feature, which expands on a system introduced last month for verified financial calls, will now work with contacts saved in users' phones. According to Google, impersonation fraud is a prevalent type of financial scam, with the FTC reporting nearly $3 billion in losses from such scams in 2024. The advancements in AI voice cloning technology have made it increasingly difficult to identify fake callers, even when they imitate familiar voices.
