TRAI Updates Rules to Use AI for Faster Spam Call Detection and Action
India's Telecom Regulatory Authority (TRAI) has updated its anti-spam rules to enable faster action against spam callers by combining consumer complaints with AI-based detection. Now, if three or more unique complaints are received within 10 days and the sender's number is flagged by telecom operators' AI systems, enforcement measures can begin. Major operators like Airtel and Vodafone Idea use AI and machine learning to analyze calling patterns and label suspected spam calls and messages, aiming to protect consumers from unsolicited communications while verifying genuine senders.
