    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”.
