I’m sure some much more intune with aviation will chirp in, but it seems to be a sensor that tries to correct forcing a stall by adjusting the angle of the nose (thereby causing it to nosedive). FWIW, Boeing stated in the Lion Air crash that it was pilot error. According to reddit, this puts the failure rate of the new MAX 8s somewhere in the 1% rate.

Both Air Canada and Westlet use MAX8s.
