To prevent spam calls and associated scams, Indian telecom carriers must implement AIbacked services beginning on May 1, 2023 The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has made a significant step to safeguard consumers from fraud and harassment with this action. You might soon find relief if you're sick of getting unwanted c a l l s a n d m e s s a g e s f r o m obnoxious numbers. All telecom firms would be required to implement AI spam filters in their call and SMS s e r v i c e s u n d e r t h e n e w regulations These filters will recognise and stop fake and promotional calls and texts coming from different sources, which are frequently used by fraudsters to cheat people for their money. The intention is to combat the rising instances of spam and the annoyance these calls and texts cause clients.

Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio are two of the telecom behemoths that have agreed to adopt the AI filter service in accordance with the mandate This has been officially confirmed by Airtel, and Jio is slated to begin offering the service shortly The Indian telecom sector will benefit greatly from this because it will lessen the number of invasive calls and texts that consumers get.

TRAI met with service providers including Bharti Airtel, Jio, and Vodafone Idea (VIL) earlier in February to examine the issue w i t h t h e U C C d e t e c t i o n mechanism. “Today we have made it very clear that telcos have to come out with an integrated system of stopping fraud (calls and messages),” the TRAI stated during the meeting. Although they are working, more needs to be done.
