Singapore’s on-device Gemma aims to catch scams privately
Singapore could get scam warnings without sending conversations to Google or the government: DeepMind and GovTech Singapore fine-tuned Gemma to spot local social-engineering patterns directly on phones. A lightweight classifier first screens incoming messages, then Gemma checks a larger slice of the conversation and can warn users before they share money or credentials. Deployment will be phased, consent-based, and built into applications, not switched on across phones automatically.
