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（納斯達克：GOOG）（納斯達克：GOOGL）的Google正在推出新的人工智能安全功能，旨在防止手機丟失。這些功能最初在五月宣佈，旨在在手機被盜時自動保護設備。
What Happened: Google's suite of AI-powered security features includes Theft Detection Lock, Offline Device Lock, and Remote Lock.
發生了什麼：Google的一系列人工智能安全功能包括盜竊檢測鎖定、離線設備鎖定和遠程鎖定。
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.
盜竊檢測鎖定能夠識別手機是否被強行帶走，並將鎖定設備以防止未經授權的訪問。離線設備鎖定在手機長時間離線時激活，而遠程鎖定允許用戶僅使用他們的手機號碼保護手機。

Mishaal Rahman, an independent Android expert, noted that these features are currently in beta testing and were first observed on a Xiaomi 14T Pro. They have been tested in Brazil since August and are expected to be available more broadly this year.
獨立的安卓專家Mishaal Rahman指出，這些功能目前正在進行測試階段，最初在小米14萬億Pro上觀察到。它們自八月起在巴西進行測試，預計今年更廣泛地提供。
These security enhancements come as cyber threats continue to evolve, with new malware targeting Android devices to exploit payment data via NFC technology, as noted by cybersecurity firm ESET in August.
這些安全增強措施是因爲網絡安全威脅持續演變，新的惡意軟件瞄準Android設備，通過NFC技術利用支付數據，正如網絡安全公司ESEt在八月指出的那樣。
Why It Matters: The introduction of these AI-driven security features by Google comes in response to the increasing incidents of mobile phone theft.
爲何這一點重要：Google推出這些以人工智能驅動的安全功能是針對手機盜竊事件不斷增加的回應。
In May, Google announced the "theft prevention lock," which utilizes AI to detect theft and lock the screen of Android smartphones. This feature is part of Google's efforts to deter criminals from accessing sensitive financial and personal data on stolen phones.
五月，Google宣佈了「防盜鎖定」功能，利用人工智能檢測盜竊並鎖定安卓智能手機的屏幕。這一功能是谷歌努力阻止犯罪分子訪問盜竊手機上的敏感金融和個人數據的一部分。
Meanwhile, Apple Inc. has also been enhancing its security measures. The company introduced Stolen Device Protection, which adds a layer of security to make it harder for thieves to exploit stolen iPhones.
與此同時，蘋果公司也一直在加強其安全措施。該公司推出了被盜設備保護功能，這一安全層使得竊賊更難利用被盜的iPhone。
This feature requires biometric authentication for critical actions and includes time delays for sensitive tasks.
該功能需要生物識別身份驗證來執行關鍵操作，並在敏感任務中包含時間延遲。
