Lol, who wants these anyways. One more reason not to use google play services. (Though I have google play services on this phone.)
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.
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.
“AI” used to mean “whatever we don’t fully understand yet”. A lot of processes have walked the path from “fantasy” to “AI” to “algorithm”. Doesn’t need to be non-deterministic, the original tic-tac-toe playing software was “AI” at the time.
Until we get some AGI, the term “AI” will remain a moving technological target, and a static marketing target.

One good thing you could try is use this app:

The real solution is, a heuristic analysis of the phone’s gyroscope and accelerometer data.
Marketing calls that, “AI”.
