How Airtel AI is Enhancing Digital Security
Welcome to this week's Q&A, where we address vital aspects of your financial well-being in the digital age.
Today, we're shedding light on a growing challenge: the fight against unwanted and malicious spam messages.
A recent discussion within our community brought forth an interesting development in this ongoing issue:
Question: What technological advancement is helping to combat the influx of spam SMS messages?
Answer: A new AI-powered feature, recently launched by Airtel, is designed to automatically scan, identify and alert Airtel users against spam SMS/messages
Question: How does this new Airtel feature work? Do users need to do anything to activate it?
Answer: The AI-powered spam blocking is automatic for Airtel users. There is no need to download any app or go through a setup process. It works in the background to filter out unwanted messages.
Question: Does this AI feature compromise the privacy of users' personal information, such as private messages or bank details?
Answer: No, the AI is designed to recognise spam patterns without accessing private messages or sensitive information like bank details, thus aiming to protect user privacy.
Question: What is the overall message or key takeaway regarding digital security and financial well-being?
Answer: The key takeaway is that digital security is becoming an increasingly important aspect of financial wellness. It's crucial to remain vigilant against online threats and to share information about tools and solutions that can help protect us.
