Google showed a new way to use artificial intelligence in the browser ChromeThe goal is to protect users from fraudsters, using the Ge language model.mini Nano, which should help Google respond to increasingly inventive tactics from fraudsters.

In the desktop version of Chrome, the "Enhanced Protection" mode has been improved, now using the Ge language model.mini Nano directly on the device. Thanks to this, the browser is able to immediately evaluate the riskiness of the website. Even if it is a completely new type of fraud. This protection targets, for example, fake technical support that tries to trick users with prompts to install malicious software or provide personal data. The language model can characterize any harmfulness immediately and display a warning to the user.

So Google is making AI an active guardian in its browser. Apple so far in my Safari did not show similar protection, which is a shame. However, such technology could perfectly fit into the emphasis declared so often Appprivacy and security. If Apple integrated AI similar to Gemini Nano directly into Safari, could offer, for example, proactive protection against phishing or other fraud, without compromising user privacy. Perhaps we will see in time.
