Vodafone Idea becomes latest telco to launch AI-based spam detection filter

Vodafone Idea (Vi) on Monday became the latest telecom operator to announce the launch of a spam management solution. Similar to Bharti Airtel and BSNL, Vi’s spam filter will be powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) and has already identified 24 million spam texts, the company said.

The filter will proactively detect and flag potential spam messages to users through an automated process. Messages identified as spam will be tagged as ‘Suspected Spam’ to warn users instantly, the telco said.
