'Jio, Airtel, Vodafone Idea use analytical tools, AI algorithms to identify spam'
NEW DELHI: Incumbent telecom operators such as Reliance Jio , Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea are using analytical tools and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to identify pesky messages and voice calls, and are aggressively working on a pilot program together with banks for the newly-launched consent management framework. 'Telecom service providers are utilising sophisticated analytical tools and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to detect unusual calling and messaging patterns indicative of spam or unauthorized marketing activities or fraud,' the Cellular Operators Association of India ( COAI ) Director-General SP Kochhar told ETTelecom. Delhi-based telco group represents Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea. Telcos are proactively identifying potential violators and blocking their communication swiftly, as a part of continuous analysis, he added. Using an artificial Intelligence (AI)-machine learning (ML) based platform allows operators to detect, prevent and suspend fraudulent communication. Nearly half of the messages received by about 1.10 billion subscribers are spam. 'As India races toward a $1 trillion digital economy, trust will be its true currency. With consumers receiving 8–10 spam calls a day, it's time for industry and regulators to come together to build a cleaner, safer, and more respectful telecom ecosystem, one that inspires lasting confidence in our digital future,' said Vinish Bawa, partner and telecom sector leader, PwC India. Kochhar added that the telecom carriers are addressing unsolicited commercial communication (UCC) from unregistered telemarketers (UTM) making calls or sending SMS using regular 10-digit numbers through multiple proactive and preventive measures. Following the recent amendment to TCCCPR, telcos are working closely with the regulator by implementing recommended modules such as consumer preference registration, complaint management, blocking traffic from unregistered headers, content and consent-based scrubbing, whitelisting and scrubbing of OTT links, call back numbers and email addresses, and deactivation of unused headers and templates. The 1600 number series is also being implemented by telecom operators to identify transactional and service-related voice calls, particularly from government entities and regulated businesses like banks and financial institutions. 'Telecom service providers are currently working on the pilot for the new consent framework along with banks under the supervision of Telecom Regulatory Authority of India ( Trai ),' he said. Under the initiative, the telecom watchdog validated the operational, technical, and regulatory aspects of a digital consent registration. The sector regulator, together with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), has partnered with select banks and telecom service providers to pilot the framework. These banks include State Bank of India (SBI), Punjab National Bank (PNB), Canara Bank, ICICI, HDFC, and Kotak Mahindra Bank. 'In an increasingly digitalised world, cross sectoral collaboration among regulators is crucial for coordinated enablement of services and protection of consumers from harm. In a digital first economy, collaboration among financial sector regulators, digital communication regulators and the security agencies becomes paramount. TRAI appreciates the swift collaboration being facilitated through JCoR in building a reliable and safer communication environment,' TRAI Chairman Anil Kumar Lahoti on Tuesday said. Lahoti reiterated the need for practical safeguards that deter spam and fraud without placing undue burden on legitimate businesses, and urged sectoral regulators to accelerate implementation within their respective domains and monitor progress closely. Earlier, a Trai official said that the initiative aims to achieve a larger objective of safeguarding consumer interest and reinforcing trust in legitimate commercial communication. Last year, the watchdog launched a program to build a secure and interoperable digital consent registry, maintained by telcos, to acquire consumer consent digitally In February this year, the regulator amended the Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations (TCCCPR), 2018, to curb spam messages and calls.

New to Perplexity Pro? Try these 5 features
After Bharti Airtel announced that it is giving away a free one-year Perplexity Pro subscription to eligible users in India, the app beat ChatGPT to become the number one free app on iOS. Unlike traditional AI-powered chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini, Perplexity is a web search engine that uses AI to search for information on the internet and present it in an easy-to-understand format. The company says that in order to generate accurate responses, it uses different large language models like GPT-4.1, Claude 4.0 Sonnet and Gemini 2.5 Pro. If you have recently claimed the free one-year Perplexity Pro subscription, here are five features that you should try right now. Compared to the free version of Perplexity, Pro users not only get more searchers per day, but also get access to the company's Pro Search feature. The functionality allows Perplexity Pro subscribers to make use of advanced AI models like OpenAI's GPT-4.1, Claude 4.0 Sonnet and Gemini 2.5 Pro. In case you don't like the outputs generated by these models, you can switch to Sonar, a large language model developed by Perplexity itself. For users who want to ask complex analytical questions, the Pro subscription includes OpenAI's o3, Claude 4.0 Sonnet, xAI's Grok 4, and a fine-tuned uncensored version of DeepSeek R1, which the company says is hosted in the United States. If you want AI to research on a topic, Perplexity says it automatically selects an 'optimal combination of models' which can generate detailed reports. Perplexity Pro subscribers also get access to Labs, an AI-powered feature that helps users make spreadsheets, dashboards and web apps in a few minutes. In a blog post, Perplexity said Labs can do all of the aforementioned things by performing 10 minutes or more of 'self-supervised work' using a wide range of tools like code execution, image creation and code execution. If you are into coding, Labs can also help you write and execute code to do tasks like structuring data, creating charts, text documents and spreadsheets. Like ChatGPT and Gemini, Perplexity Pro users can also upload files like PDF, CSV, audio, video and images for analysis. The feature is powered by large language models like OpenAI's GPT-4 Omni and Claude 4.0 Sonnet, which means it will have the same capabilities as Claude and ChatGPT. Like ChatGPT and Gemini premium subscribers, Perplexity Pro members can also generate and edit images using text prompts. Perplexity says users should 'try to be as specific as possible' with their instructions, and the app will automatically generate the image without the user having to press any button after prompting. Perplexity's default image generation model is GPT Image 1, but the company says they will be adding more models as they become available. In case you don't like the output, simply set your model preference from the settings menu. Currently available options include Gemini 2.0 Flash Experimental, FLUX.1 and DALL-E 3. And while there is no edit option, you can ask Perplexity to regenerate the image. And while there are no limitations on how many times Pro users can regenerate an image, Pro subscribers are limited to 150 images per month using GPT Image 1.
