Dot ‘Family Care’: AI Detects Parents’ Risks and Immediately Notifies Children SK Telecom Source: SK Telecom “While cash or gifts are nice for Parents’ Day, how about gifting them safety from increasingly sophisticated voice phishing?” SK Telecom has introduced the ‘Family Care’ feature, which notifies children in real-time of their parents’ voice phishing risks via the A.
Dot phone. With voice phishing losses projected to surge by 188% year-on-year as of the first quarter of 2025, we have summarized the key questions regarding the SKT A.
Dot phone ‘Family Care’ service, which is expected to serve as a reliable ‘AI shield’ for the elderly who are vulnerable to psychological pressure. Q1.
Q1. What is the core of the ‘Family Care’ feature? It is a service where AI immediately detects suspicious signs of voice phishing during a call by parents (A-Dot Phone users) and sends an alert to registered guardians (such as children).
It helps families intervene quickly before panicked parents try to handle the situation alone and suffer damage. Q2.
Can guardians (children) receive notifications even if they use a different carrier or do not have the A-Dot app installed? Yes, they can. Guardians can receive notifications via text message regardless of their carrier or whether they have installed A-Dot.
If the guardian is also an A-Dot Phone user, both the app push and text message are sent simultaneously, ensuring clearer awareness. Q3.
How many guardians can be registered, and can acquaintances be added? You can register up to 10 people per user. You can easily add not only children but also close acquaintances from your contacts.
In particular, for SKT users, the ‘Family Combination’ list is displayed at the top, allowing them to easily register their children with just a few touches on their parents’ mobile phones on Parents’ Day. Q4.
How does AI determine if it is voice phishing? A. dot Phone’s AI not only analyzes the context of the call but also utilizes ‘voiceprint (voice pattern) data,’ introduced in March of this year, to detect impersonation more precisely.
Because it captures the voice characteristics of criminals, it is much more powerful than simple keyword blocking. Q5.
Does it notify you of other emergency situations besides voice phishing detection? For Android device users, even when parents make an emergency call to 112 or 119, location or emergency alerts are immediately sent to the registered guardian, allowing for safety verification. Q6.
Are there any specific conditions I need to set up to use the service? You can immediately register a guardian and use the service by turning on A. dot Phone’s ‘AI Voice Phishing Detection’ feature on your parents’ mobile phones and agreeing to the provision of personal information to third parties.
Q7. Does it actually block voice phishing? A.
62 million instances of spam and voice phishing through ‘AI Safe Blocking’ in the first quarter of 2026 alone. It is equipped with a dense network that protects parents at every stage—before, during, and after a call.
Q8. Why do you recommend this feature for your parents' mobile phones? Recently, voice phishing methods have become highly sophisticated, involving not only impersonating investigative agencies but also ‘impersonating children.
’ This is because simply having family members receive an immediate alert and call to reassure parents when they are feeling psychologically intimidated can prevent the majority of damage. One-line summary! “This Parents’ Day, give your parents the gift of an ‘AI Safety Shield,’ which is more reliable than cash.
