Medianama to Host Discussion on AI's Role in Spam Prevention
Medianama is organizing a panel discussion in New Delhi focusing on the impact of AI in spam prevention and its implications for legitimate communication. The application deadline for the event is today.
Medianama, an Indian technology news platform, is hosting a roundtable discussion in New Delhi on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, examining the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in combating spam. The final call for applications to attend the event closes today.
The discussion, scheduled to take place at Viceroy Hall, The Claridges, will bring together professionals from the telecom, technology, financial, legal, policy, and consumer protection sectors. Key topics will include AI-driven spam detection methods, coordination through DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology), and the potential risks to legitimate business communications.
Confirmed speakers include representatives from major telecom operators such as Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea, alongside Sunil Bajpai of Tanla Platforms. The session will also explore the role of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) in regulating spam and communication.
Participants will delve into critical issues such as how AI-generated spam signals can improve prevention without enforcing a single detection model, the risks of false positives for legitimate enterprise and A2P (application-to-person) communications, and the effectiveness of DLT traceability. Safeguards for proprietary detection systems and coordination across various communication channels are also on the agenda.
Attendance is by invitation only, with confirmations to be sent to selected applicants by August 11, 2026. The event is supported by Airtel, with The Quantum Hub serving as a community partner.
