More AI in places where a standard algorithm would prove more useful. Look at how effective iPhone locking is compared to android. I switch Roms on my android and often don’t even get the prompt to prove my ownership after resetting the phone.

There's a funny vid by DerBauer exposing the completely useless AI branding at Computex. There were PC cases with AI branding. Their explanation was something along the lines of 'you can put a PC in here that runs AI processing".
Seems interesting. My only question is what happens once it detects this?
It does a Note 7 impression.
It seems less anti-theft and more "data protection in case of theft."
I'm not sure that's a fair assessment (after all, what should a proper anti-theft measure even look like, then?), but that's the best way I can describe it. From what I can tell, it's more tech that attempts to lock the screen when it believes your phone isn't safe.
More data protection is always nice, provided it works. Was AI the best way to do it? No idea. Don't know if it'll help with the actual theft any, since I believe the stolen phones are usually factory reset and then resold all over. User data was never the main appeal.
It's mildly funny that this will be tested in Brazil. Something that is a bit fitting, a bit sad, yet I can't help snorting at.
Was AI the best way to do it? No idea.
AI is a buzzword at this point. I wouldn't read too much into it. Everything that's been called AI has been in existence way before the general people even new the A in AI.
I mean EDL mode and BROM mode still exist...
Only in brazil °ဣ㍄ዌᄑ쳮⌢
