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.

Does it mean, that “Google AI” will running 24/7 in background, measuring how I use my phone, with an access to accelerometers data and location data?

Google already does that

I also added that to my wife’s phone, but “inadvertently” wink set the sensitivity to 5. I had quite a laugh that first day.

Private lock just works, and needs Google like I need hangovers.
