Truecaller Introduces AI Voice Detection Capability
Identifying AI Bots with Truecaller
Truecaller has proudly announced that it is the first voice calling platform worldwide to incorporate an AI voice detection capability. This cutting-edge technology enables AI bots to sound remarkably human-like. The AI voice detection feature will determine within three seconds whether the caller is an AI bot or a human, aiding consumers in protecting themselves from potential scams and fraud.
Combatting AI Scam Calls
In response to the prevalence of AI scam calls in India, Truecaller has developed a solution to differentiate between human and AI calls. Users can manually activate the AI voice detection by tapping a dedicated button on the Truecaller interface when suspicious of the caller’s identity. The caller’s voice will then be recorded and processed by Truecaller’s advanced AI model to confirm whether the call is from a human or an AI bot.

At present, this feature is exclusively available for Android devices. Truecaller is actively working on launching the feature for iOS devices in the near future.
