Google is implementing new AI-powered defenses on Chrome to protect users against scams, including using Gemini Nano on desktop and launching AI-powered warnings on Chrome for Android.
Chrome's Enhanced Protection mode offers twice the protection against phishing and online threats compared to the Standard Protection mode, and now Gemini Nano will provide an additional layer of defense for Enhanced Protection users.
Google will use Gemini Nano's capabilities to provide immediate insight into risky websites and protect users from new scam tactics more quickly.
Additionally, new AI-powered warnings on Chrome for Android will help users be aware of malicious notifications, giving them the option to unsubscribe or view blocked content.
