About the news
Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media Maksut Shadaev announced the Ministry's plans to create a biometric database of votes of telephone scammers. This statement was made on November 19 at the conference "Customer Safety comes first", organized jointly with Vedomosti and Beeline.
According to Shadaev, a set of measures is being developed as part of the fight against fraud, including the creation of this database. The integration of data from mobile operators who have information about calls will become the basis for the formation of a database. Expert Sergey Afanasyev noted that it will include the voices of scammers who have already made calls, which will allow them to be identified and prevent repeated attempts at deception.
Expert commentary
It is planned that artificial intelligence will be trained to recognize the speech patterns of scammers and automatically interrupt suspicious connections. Anton Averyanov, CEO of the ST IT group of companies, added that the database can be updated with data on fraudsters found guilty, as well as information from banks about suspicious transactions.
