Google is stepping up its game against online scams by integrating its Gemini Nano AI into Chrome’s Enhanced Protection mode. This on-device AI model scans websites in real-time, identifying potential threats like tech support scams before they can cause harm.
By analyzing elements such as pop-up behaviors and site intentions directly on the user’s device, Gemini Nano offers immediate protection without relying on traditional, slower update systems.
This advancement is crucial in the fight against increasingly scams that often evade standard detection methods. By processing data locally, Gemini Nano not only speeds up threat identification but also ensures user privacy is maintained. Users are alerted to suspicious sites instantly, allowing them to avoid potential scams effectively.
Adding Gemini Nano to Chrome represents a significant leap forward in browser security. It’s a proactive approach that adapts to the evolving landscape of online threats, providing users with a safer browsing experience.
Parakh said in an interview that fighting scammers “has always been an evolution game,” where bad actors learn and evolve as tech companies put new protections in place.
“Now, both sides have new tools,” She continued, “So, there’s this question of, how do you get to use this tool more effectively? Who is being a little more proactive about it?”
