Google Desktop Chrome is using the on-device Gemini Nano model to provide instant insight on risky websites and offer an additional layer of defense even against online scams that haven’t been detected before

May 9, 2025 //  by Finnovate

Google published a report about how it’s using the latest AI approaches to combat spam across Search, Chrome (with Gemini Nano for Enhanced Protection), and Android. Google Search credits AI-powered scam detection systems as currently helping detect and block “hundreds of millions of scammy results every day.” The company notes how it can now “analyze vast quantities of text and identify subtle linguistic patterns and thematic connections that might indicate coordinated scam campaigns or emerging fraudulent narratives.” In addition to the “Standard Protection” warnings when you come across a nefarious site, Safe Browsing offers an optional “Enhanced Protection” mode against phishing and other scams. Desktop Chrome is now using the on-device Gemini Nano model to “provide Enhanced Protection users with an additional layer of defense against online scams.” The LLM “provides instant insight on risky websites and allows us to offer protection, even against scams that haven’t been seen before.” Google is already using this to “protect users from remote tech support scams,” with plans to cover more types and bringing to the Android browser in the future. Meanwhile, Chrome for Android will use an on-device machine learning model that flags “malicious, spammy or misleading notifications” and labels them as “Possible scam.” Users can “Show notification” or “Unsubscribe.”
