For a few years now, users have declared a war against commercial calls, commonly known as spam calls. In fact, with the support of the Government and the approval of the new General Telecommunications Law, which among many other aspects explicitly establishes the right of users not to receive calls for commercial purposes if they have not given their prior consent.
In this way, it is assumed that companies they cannot randomly dial any phone number, and only the services to which you have given permission can. On paper everything sounds perfect, but we have been two years since the law was passed and spam calls are still a recurring and practically daily problem.
The key to all this, and what the vast majority of companies take advantage of to keep calling to try to sell you a product or service, is that They sneak this consent in any way, either by accepting the terms and conditions when registering or by accepting cookies from the website.. While others do the illegal thing directly, and call you randomly, although to put an end to them the key is to ask them this magical question.
But this is not enough, and in order to truly put an end to spam calls, phone brands themselves are developing new tools and features. More and more Android phones and iPhones have a spam detector and when a call comes in, they notify you (in some cases) that the call that is coming in It’s possibly spam.
However, Google has gone a step further by taking advantage of Artificial Intelligence, and has developed an AI-powered call filter that when any call comes in you can activate it so that Let the machine talk first to whoever is calling you to find out what they want.
AI will jump as a kind of answering machine in which it will ask the other person to identify themselves and tell the reason for the calland then summarize in the moment what they have told you so you can decide if you want to take the call or not. As an added point, due to the novelty of having an AI answer, Many times spam callers hang up immediately and leave you alone.
In addition to being very useful against commercial calls, the truth is that it also helps your cybersecurity, since if an unknown number calls and you use the filterthey will not be able to clone your voice or record you saying yes, which can also pose a risk to your bank account.
The only drawback of this Google filter, is that at the moment it is only available on the brand’s devices, that is the Pixel family, although we must not lose hope that the company decides to release this tool and it can be applied to all Android smartphones.
