Andriod AI Scam Protection

 According to WIRED, Americans have been targeted by scammers from around the world. Based on the data in the article, nearly $16.6 billion is expected to be lost to online crimes. Approximately 200,000 individuals reported scams such as phishing and spoofing to the FBI, with almost $470 million stolen through scams initiated by anonymous texts or messages. According to the Federal Trade Commission, Google plans to implement AI-on-Device Scam Protection that will run on messaging applications when they launch Android 16, aiming to identify various types of scams, including crypto, lottery, gift card, and prize scams, among others. This security system operates on individual users' devices without sharing data with Google. According to Google, this new system has protected approximately 2 billion suspicious messages from users in one month. This AI can detect both simple and complex schemes. This will be added at the upcoming launch of Android 16 to safeguard against evolving scams and protect user data.

Salesforce Buys AI data tools

Salesforce announced its intention to acquire the data management company Informatica for approximately $8 billion, marking its largest acquisition since purchasing Slack for nearly $28 billion in 2021. This move aims to enhance Salesforce's data management and AI capabilities, specifically to boost the Salesforce Agentforce platform, as it will enable the business to automate tasks through virtual AI agents.

 Today, countries are competing to lead in technology, innovation, and other cutting-edge ideas. The US is working to stay ahead of China in artificial intelligence, but it's crucial not to lose focus on security. While innovation and business influence are key to success, the US must also be mindful of the potential for AI tools to be misused by government officials for surveillance and military purposes.  There are numerous efforts to regulate AI exports, and rules have been created to control them, but these efforts are often inconsistent and can be overturned by subsequent administrations. The US faces some difficulties with AI technologies that are exported from abroad, creating uncertainty.
