There is no option for deletion for this app. Its draining my battery, and I read various posts they said that this app spy location and do lot of other stuff. I'm really confused after noticing it and reading such stuff. What should I do, I tried to disable it but it again activates when I restart phone?

That is a valid stance and feeling to have; and you can in fact turn off and opt out of the AI features in Android to reduce the issue to a non-issue.
