In a move to curb spam calls and messages, Bharti Airtel today launched India’s first network-based AI-powered spam detection solution. The tool will alert customers in real-time to all suspected spam calls and SMSes. Besides, it would also alert customers to malicious links received via SMS. To this end, Airtel has built a centralised database of blacklisted URLs and every SMS is scanned by an AI algorithm to caution users from accidentally clicking on suspicious links.

The service is free of cost and will get auto-activated for all Airtel customers.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
