Google has signed the Industry Accord Against Online Scams and Fraud at the UN Global Fraud Summit in Vienna, committing to deploy artificial intelligence tools to detect and counter scams targeting people worldwide.
The accord, which Google framed as a response to increasingly sophisticated and organised criminal networks, was signed alongside other industry participants at the United Nations-convened event.
Google said it will build on $15 million in prior funding through Google.org, its philanthropic arm, by expanding the availability of its technical expertise and AI-driven detection capabilities.
The company also pledged to deepen collaboration with law enforcement agencies and international partners to strengthen cross-border defences against fraud.
As immediate next steps, Google said it will share more threat intelligence through the Global Signal Exchange, a cross-industry platform for fraud signals, and will convene summits with international partners.
