  3. The #ExecutiveOrder on #AI last week has this little tidbit tucked in:

    > encouraging ... efforts to combat unwanted robocalls and robotexts ... through AI

    This must be how the robot wars start. AI defense tools fighting AI #robocallers, and the AI on both sides improving offensive and defensive skills geometrically until they destroy everything. I predict the robocaller AI will win and rule the world.

  5. 48 states sue phone company that allegedly catered to needs of #robocallers

    Nearly every US state yesterday sued a telecom company accused of routing billions of illegal #robocalls to millions of US residents on the Do Not Call Registry.

  7. Actually, this is an extension of the Bixsby Text Call service, which is an interesting way of screening suspected spammer calls. It deliberately answers your phone using a robot voice and asks the caller to state their business etc. The responses are converted to text for you to read, and you can type responses in, which are read out aloud by the "robot  voice" to the caller. The idea being this will cause many spam callers to abandon the call, and shields you from having to actually engage with spam callers on a personal level.

    Of course, this Text Call service can also be used in situations for any call where you can't speak yourself (very loud surroundings, or possibly when in a theatre, etc).

    This new development extends that functionality to now using AI to clone your own voice. How well, or fast, this actually works has not been tested outside of South Korea yet. But for suspected spam calls, I'd prefer actually that they speak to a robot voice.

    Some caveats here: this feature is only currently available in Korean as the Bixby Custom Voice Creator app for a small number of Samsung handsets (the new Galaxy S23, S23+ and S23 Ultra).

  9. @computer @LunaFoxgirlVT yes, #coldcalling is also illegal in #Germany and @BNetzA / #BNetzA is unplugging said #robocallers and #SMS - #Spammers within minutes...

    I kid you not!

    #Funfact: You don't even need a #Visa for entry if you are a citizen from the USA, UK, Canada, Japan, South Korea and even apply for residency post-entry.

    Don't believe me?

  10. @crazygingerlady @thebadnewsb I'm jist glad that unsolicited calls - espechally with falsified or hidden number - are illegal in Germany and that @BNetzA terminates #scammers and #robocallers within hours if not minutes of reports.

    Thus #robocalling and #SpamCalls are basically nonexistant in #Germany.

    I wish #FCC would also have #ZeroTolerance in that sector.

  11. Remember Google and Twitter Account Verifications… Verified Calls on the Google Phone app now available in Germany

    The availability of Verified Calls seems to be in the process of rolling out, and currently is only showing up for some users. Those that have access and choose to enable it in Phone settings can start getting notices from participating businesses. When a business calls, they'll see a screen informing them of the reason for the call, even before they pick up.

    Android users are lucky enough already to have fully functional, working caller screening apps like Truecaller. On iPhone, I have to suffer through crippled versions of those apps as Apple prohibits any 3rd party from controlling the phone app (my biggest bugbear with iOS).
