Samsung adds Voice Phishing detection in the One UI 8 phone app | Infinium-tech

AI can be fun or helpful – but sometimes it can also be dangerous. Voice cloning has already been used to scam to scam those who receive calls – a loved one in trouble. But AI can also be used to protect against such scams.

Samsung has added Voice Fishing Detection to a UI 8. It only works in Korea and has been trained on data on National Police Agency and National Institute of Scientific Investigation. If your phone supports it, you will find it in phone app settings – View Voice Fishing Suspected Call Notification Toggle.

Enabling voice phishing detection

The way it works is very simple. While talking to an unknown number, you will see a popup that “detect” to inform you that this feature is listening and scanning for AI’s voices.

If the AI voice is detected, the phone will vibrate and ping to warn you, even if you are no longer looking at the screen. It seems that there are two levels: “suspicious”, which caution you to verify the collar identity, and “discovered”, which confirms that it is a phishing call. Call logs will find out the fishing call.

Voice phishing detection in action

Again, it is available only for now in South Korea, but it is expected that Samsung will work with relevant agencies worldwide to detect it for other languages as well.
