Google plans to use artificial intelligence (AI) to identify fraudulent websites in Chrome, by analyzing their content and intent, similar to Microsoft’s 'scareware' blocker.
The Chrome browser has a new experimental feature similar to Microsoft’s 'scareware' blocker. In this case, it aims to combat a threat that takes over the entire screen of the browser and creates a sense of urgency in the user to grant remote access to their computer to the cybercriminal.
This tool, currently in testing, uses machine learning to identify the threat and warn the user of the risk.
Google is preparing something similar in Chrome, as it plans to use AI to detect websites designed to commit fraud, aimed at stealing information or money. It is currently in testing on Canary, as reported by Android Authority.
This new feature would work in Chrome for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and will use automatic large language models (LLM) to inquire about the website’s content and intent.
