Google gives Gemini Nano a big intelligence boost

San Francisco: At the Google I/O developer conference 2024, Google announced empowering Gemini Nano with a significant intelligence upgrade which will now detect suspicious calls and help the Android users avoid them.

The model's enhanced intelligence now enables it to assist users in identifying potential threats to their personal information, such as social security numbers and bank account details.

In a live demonstration, an unknown caller attempted to deceive the recipient into moving their bank funds to a "safe" location.

At this critical moment, Gemini Nano intervened to identify the call as a likely scam by issuing a notification emphasising that legitimate banks never request such actions to safeguard funds.

Gemini Nano may prove to be the ideal best friend for users who may be overcome by fear and follow all the instructions of the scam call, according to WCCF Tech.

However, while the programme’s security can be reassuring, it can also make others uncomfortable as not everyone will be pleased to learn that an AI is listening in on your calls.

Gemini Nano runs locally on Android smartphones, so the data, it is believed, remains on the smartphone.

However, a WCCF Tech report says that it's uncertain as Google leverages tons of user data to improve the quality of its services, so it will likely use this information to continue to improve Gemini Nano.

On the first day of the I/O conference Monday, Google launched lightweight Gemini and Firebase Genkit, an open spurce platform.
