1. A method, performed by an electronic device, of authenticating a driver of a vehicle, the method comprising:
determining whether the driver corresponds to a valid user of the vehicle, according to an artificial intelligence (AI)-based authentication process;
selecting a low-speed authentication process or a high-speed authentication process based on a speed of the vehicle, based on determining through the AI-based authentication process that the driver does not correspond to the valid user; and
determining whether the driver corresponds to the valid user, according to the selected authentication process,
wherein the AI-based authentication process is configured to be performed based on a neural network configured to process sensing data collected by a sensor of at least one of the vehicle or a mobile device of the driver while the driver is using the vehicle.
