Bharti Airtel, India's second-largest telecom operator, is rolling out an AI-powered spam detection solution to all its customers.

Airtel's AI-powered spam detection tool was able to identify over 115 million spam calls on the first day after it was implemented for customers across India.

The company launched the feature early on Thursday morning for all the smartphone users among its more than 387 million mobile phone subscribers, executives said.

Spam calls and messages are a nuisance and while the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has taken steps to tackle the issue, it has failed to do so completely. Telecom operator Bharti Airtel has now deployed AI-powered technology to try to solve the issue.

Thanks to its new AI model, Airtel subscribers may not have to worry about falling for scam calls anymore. But, is this the best solution?
