Explore 200 Years of Railway History with Google Arts & Culture and AI

This year marks both the 50th birthday of the National Railway Museum and the bicentenary of the modern railway in the UK. To celebrate, the Science Museum Group has launched a new project with Google Arts & Culture, titled “Beyond the Tracks,” embracing digital technology to make railway history accessible to a global audience.

The project reflects the railway’s own role in inspiring technological advancement and aims to ensure its powerful history “belongs to everyone, everywhere.” As part of this initiative, the museum utilized Google Arts & Culture’s new AI-powered Metadata Enhancement Service to transcribe handwritten documents and artifacts, making previously inaccessible ancient records searchable.

“Beyond the Tracks” builds upon a long-standing partnership with Google Arts & Culture, which previously included an eight-part educational storytelling series. These stories showcase items from the museum’s collection, covering topics like “Connecting the World,” “Taking Flight,” “Home Cooking,” and the “Energy transition.”

Now,visitors can virtually explore the Locomotion museum in Shildon,County Durham,home to Europe’s largest undercover collection of historic railway vehicles. Three new 360-degree virtual tours allow users to wander through Locomotion, including the Main Hall and the New hall (designed as a conventional engine shed), appreciating the scale of the heritage rail vehicles. Users can also virtually walk the historic Brusselton Incline, part of the world’s first public railway dating back to 1825.

Fighting Back Against the “Lighthouse” Scam Network

A complex criminal network, dubbed “Lighthouse,” is exploiting trusted brands like Google to perpetrate widespread financial fraud. The scam operates by sending deceptive text messages containing‍ links that lead to fraudulent websites designed to steal sensitive information ⁢- email credentials, banking details, and more. These sites ⁤illegally mimic legitimate services, wiht over 107 website templates discovered using Google’s branding on fake sign-in screens.

the impact of this operation is ‍substantial. “Lighthouse” has already victimized over one million people in more then 120 countries, and ‍is estimated to have compromised between 12.7 and 115 million credit cards within the United States alone. This represents a dramatic increase – a five-fold surge – in these types of attacks since 2020.

Google is responding with a multi-pronged approach, beginning with legal action.The company is pursuing ‍claims under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, the Lanham Act, ⁣and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, aiming to dismantle the core infrastructure ‍supporting⁤ this criminal​ enterprise and protect both users and other ‍brands from similar exploitation.

Recognizing that legal action alone isn’t enough, Google is actively advocating for stronger public policy‌ to combat the broader‍ threat of scams. The company is endorsing key bipartisan bills currently before the U.S. Congress, including:

* The ⁤GUARD Act: ⁤Sponsored by Senators Britt, scott, and Gillibrand, and Representatives nunn, ‍Fitzgerald, and Gottheimer, this ​legislation would provide state and ⁣local law enforcement with federal‍ grant funding to investigate scams targeting retirees.
* ⁣ The Foreign Robocall Elimination Act: Introduced ⁢by Senators Budd and Welch, this bill proposes the creation of a taskforce​ dedicated to blocking illegal robocalls originating from foreign sources before they reach consumers.
* The SCAM Act: Sponsored⁣ by Senators Cornyn and Shaheen, this legislation focuses on‍ developing a national strategy‍ to counter “scam compounds,” strengthening sanctions, and ‍supporting survivors of human trafficking often found within these operations.

Beyond legal and policy efforts, Google is also bolstering its technological defenses. New features powered by artificial intelligence ​are being launched to proactively identify and ⁢flag ‌common scam messages, such as those falsely claiming toll fees or package delivery ‌issues. Enhanced security measures are also being implemented within Google Messages​ to protect users from malicious⁤ links and scams. Furthermore, Google​ is expanding account recovery options through “recovery Contacts” to make it safer and easier for users to regain access to compromised accounts. These efforts are coupled​ with ongoing public education initiatives designed to help users recognize and avoid fraudulent⁢ schemes.

Google emphasizes that combating these attacks requires a collaborative effort. By⁢ pursuing legal remedies, advocating for stronger‌ legislation, and developing smarter, AI-driven security ​tools, the company ​aims ‌to create ⁣a more secure digital ⁤habitat for everyone.
