Automatic AI-powered screen lock for when your phone is snatched.
Theft Detection Lock is a powerful new feature that uses Google AI to sense if someone snatches your phone from your hand and tries to run, bike or drive away. If a common motion associated with theft is detected, your phone screen quickly locks – which helps keep thieves from easily accessing your data.

Why would we need AI for that? That just makes the function unpredictable. There must be a real solution to detecting this.
The real solution is, a heuristic analysis of the phone’s gyroscope and accelerometer data.
Marketing calls that, “AI”.
Not just marketing, that’s the term it’s always been called. Plug a bunch of parameters into a non-deterministic model and you’ve got an AI, at least by what seems to be the common definition of the term.
