The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) aims to update regulations on spam calls in response to a growing number of scams and misleading interactions. Indian SIM card holders receive billions of spam calls each month, originating in India but being routed through international gateways to avoid legal jurisdiction. TRAI is considering implementing an industry framework, STIR/SHAKEN, which uses digitally signed tokens to verify caller identity. While this framework won't stop the calls, it could provide users with more information and confidence in the call's authenticity. The implementation of STIR/SHAKEN relies on IP-based signaling available in 4G and 5G networks.

Spammers are using AI tools to generate large amounts of content, causing Google's algorithms to rank some of these artificial pages higher than relevant information. This results in misleading search results, with clickbait leading to scams that target personal information. Even well-established websites like LinkedIn can be exploited with AI-generated content. Google's spam-fighting systems attempt to keep search results spam-free, but AI-generated content that appears legitimate to machines can still surface in search rankings. Users are advised to stay vigilant and verify information from reliable sources.
