Today, at the UN Global Summit on Fraud in Vienna, Google signed the Industry Accord Against Online Scams & Fraud alongside several industry companies.
Why is this news? Because it’s not just a statement: it’s a commitment to share threat intelligence, coordinate defenses, and leverage technical capabilities — including AI — to fight criminal networks that operate at global scale.
Who's participating and what they promise
Among the signatories are Adobe, Amazon, Levi Strauss & Co, LinkedIn, Match Group, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Pinterest and Target, in addition to Google.
- The main goal is to unify efforts: share fraud signals, coordinate responses, and improve detection and mitigation.
- Google complements this with investment and resources: Google.org has already allocated $15 million and they plan to expand technical expertise and AI-based solutions.
- In 2026 they will release more details through the Global Signal Exchange, and will work closely with law enforcement and international partners to strengthen cross-border defenses.
