What it does
Android System Intelligence is a Google system component that runs inside Private Compute Core, the walled-off part of Android meant for sensitive on-device processing. It powers features such as Live Caption, Screen Attention, Smart Autorotate, Now Playing, smart text selection, notification action buttons and the app suggestions row in the launcher. It works with the permissions it is granted, for example reading contacts to suggest people you call often, and it has no direct network access. It was previously called Device Personalization Services.
Also shown as Device Personalization Services, ASI.
If you disable it
Live Caption, Now Playing, Screen Attention, Smart Autorotate, smart copy and paste, text selection actions and launcher app predictions stop. Some keyboard and voice typing features that depend on it also stop.
