The Story in Brief
MediaNama will host a roundtable discussion on AI in spam prevention at Viceroy Hall, The Claridges, New Delhi, on 12 August 2026. The event will examine TRAI’s directive requiring mobile operators to share AI-generated spam-detection data with a common Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)-linked platform.
Speakers include Sunil Bajpai of Tanla Platforms, Rahul Vatts of Bharti Airtel, Ajay Mehta of Vodafone Idea, and others from Hero MotoCorp, Info Edge, and TrulyMadly. The discussion will address how different operators use varied models and thresholds, and how to protect legitimate enterprise communication such as OTPs and delivery updates from overbroad enforcement.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that AI antispam is either a silver bullet or a threat to business misses the point. Operators already use different detection models, thresholds and risk parameters, so outcomes will vary. The real test is whether TRAI’s common DLT platform can harmonise data without creating a single point of failure or false positives that block time-sensitive OTPs. How will the regulator guarantee that a legitimate payment reminder is not silenced by an overzealous algorithm? That is the number to watch.
