“the FCC is considering if AI analytics might better block unwanted calls and texts “and restore trust in our networks,” according to the agency. It would certainly be an improvement over reaching for the block button after receiving yet another call from someone purporting to be a Microsoft technician”

        Just like how US banks and Credit card companies fought adding chips to US credit cards for so many years despite like 90% of credit card theft taking place in the US due to low security.

        Would love to see a follow on to the rates of CC theft after 2018 or so when it was standard.
