Google has an idea to prevent phone scams, but it'll mean allowing its AI to listen in on your calls (www.businessinsider.com)

Google promised to keep data from the phone calls private.

While I do agree with the premise of your comment, most countries (including the US) have strict and long-standing laws on recording phone conversations. Even if Google wanted to do this, I can see it being an absolute nightmare to egress data from a device onto external storage.

Unless it doesnt count as "recording" because the information is being transformed by the model in a way that keeps the law from applying to it. But yeah, it will be interesting to see how this might go in court.
