Google Starts Rolling Out AI-Powered Security Features To Combat Android Phone Theft
Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google is rolling out new AI-powered security features for Android devices aimed at preventing phone theft. These features, which were initially announced in May, are designed to automatically secure a device if it is stolen.
Alphabet Inc. 's（纳斯达克股票代码：GOOG）（纳斯达克股票代码：GOOGL）谷歌正在为安卓设备推出新的人工智能安全功能，旨在防止手机被盗。这些功能最初于5月发布，旨在在设备被盗时自动保护设备。
What Happened: Google's suite of AI-powered security features includes Theft Detection Lock, Offline Device Lock, and Remote Lock.
发生了什么：谷歌的人工智能安全功能套件包括盗窃检测锁、离线设备锁和远程锁定。
Theft Detection Lock can identify if a phone is forcibly taken and will lock the device to prevent unauthorized access. Offline Device Lock activates if the phone remains offline for an extended period, while Remote Lock allows users to secure their phone using just their mobile number.
防盗检测锁可以识别手机是否被强行拿走，并将锁定设备以防止未经授权的访问。如果手机长时间处于离线状态，则离线设备锁定会激活，而远程锁定允许用户仅使用手机号码保护手机。
