Truecaller brings powerful feature, will identify AI-generated voice calls in a few seconds

Truecaller has introduced the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Voice Call Scanner feature. This feature of Truecaller will give real-time warnings to users on AI calls coming on their phones. Releasing this feature, the company said that they have designed their AI model in such a way that it will be able to differentiate between AI-generated voice and human voice. However, the company has not shared much information about it at the moment.

To identify whether the call coming on the phone is AI generated, after receiving the call, the user will have to merge the call with the phone line of Truecaller by clicking on the dedicated button for Truecaller. It will record the voice sample of the caller and tell whether the call is AI-generated or not.

The company claims that its system is capable of identifying AI callers in a few seconds. However, the company has not told how much percent of accurate information its system gives.

The US market was the first to adopt this feature. All users of Truecaller's premium subscription will be able to access this feature gradually throughout the world.

India is not alone in the world as spam calls and messages are becoming a major issue. Many cases involving AI-enabled calls, or "deepfake," have surfaced in the last few months. Voice samples of users from social media and other platforms are stolen by con artists. They use this to call their relatives and commit fraud.

When combating these fraudulent calls, this Truecaller feature can be quite beneficial. Twenty lakh mobile numbers linked to cybercrime have been blocked by the telecom department.
