Google is launching new AI-driven security features for Android devices aimed at preventing phone theft. The features include Theft Detection Lock, Offline Device Lock, and Remote Lock, which utilize machine learning to enhance user security. These innovations are designed to automatically lock the phone if it detects a theft in progress, thereby protecting sensitive data and applications.
The Theft Detection Lock employs machine learning to identify potential theft scenarios, while Offline Device Lock secures the phone if it remains disconnected from the internet for too long. Remote Lock provides an additional layer of security by allowing users to lock their devices using just their mobile number, ensuring access even in emergencies.
