AT&T will listen to your phone calls and block spammers using AI

- kirito1337 1y agothats privacy breach and giving an LLM voice recording of your calls dont be surprised if you find your voice in chatgpt
- Bender 1y agoFWIW they've gone through many iterations of this. In the 1960's there were rooms of operators listening for keywords. That was replaced with computers that listened for keywords and phrases which I think improved privacy. Whistleblowers appear every couple decades and disclose NSA listening locations. I am mostly curious if this AI at least understands context to reduce false alerts thus minimizing alert fatigue, wasted resources, etc... Bonus if it can troll some spammers. Bigger bonus if one day it can pit them against one another using psychological warfare. I doubt any of this will be in a for-public-consumption ChatGPT. More likely they or the NSA have their own private data-center.
- spindump8930 1y agoFairly certain that AI (meaning an expensive llm type model) isn't needed to detect spam a large amount of the time. Classical classification methods could work while also being more privacy friendly (e.g. running on device). > According to AT&T, a big difference with its product is that it is built into the network itself. This doesn't seem like an asset...
- al2o3cr 1y agoCounter-proposal: AT&T knows who is paying for the spam calls, even when they forge a caller ID. Show THAT COMPANY'S number and let customers sort it out...
