Trai looking at AI, machine learning to curb pesky communications

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) is looking at utilising technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to tackle the menace of spam communications. According to sources, the authority is working with telecom operators to work out such a solution.

To start with, telecom operators have started to analyse data from the blockchain-enabled system currently in place for commercial messages. Based on the results, the Authority will think about the next plan of action. If required, it may issue a consultation paper or issue directions.
