On September 16, 2026, Pindrop launched its BotStopper technology to detect AI voice agents and automated callers in real time. This standalone solution aims to enhance security for enterprises, particularly in sectors like healthcare, where it previously reduced bot activity by 94.3% in a deployment. The technology is part of Pindrop's Identity Trust Platform and is supported by an AI Voice Consortium that maintains a registry of over 5,000 AI voices. Pindrop's research indicates a staggering 1680% increase in AI-powered attacks since late 2024, with projections of 1.3 billion AI agents by 2028. The BotStopper technology identifies whether a caller is human or machine within two seconds, helping organizations manage the risks associated with AI interactions. Pindrop emphasizes that the goal is not to block legitimate AI agents but to ascertain their identity and purpose in enterprise communications.
