In the future year, Samsung Electronics wants to incorporate generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into its line of household appliances. Yoo Mi-young, the head of the software development team for Samsung’s business of digital appliances, made this admission at the IFA technology trade expo in Berlin. By incorporating generative AI technology into many elements of its home products, Samsung hopes to improve the daily experiences of its users.
This project’s scope includes display functionality, visual processing, and speech recognition. Samsung’s home appliances will be able to respond to user orders and inquiries more intelligently and contextually by utilizing generative AI to develop a better awareness of users’ habits and preferences. As a result, users will interact with household devices in a more conversational and user-centric way.
The ability for these AI-powered appliances to perceive their environment will also be improved. For instance, a generative AI-enabled oven may identify the sort of food being cooked and propose customized recipes, while a generative AI-enabled refrigerator can recognize stored ingredients and make nutritional recommendations depending on the items on hand.
Alongside these advancements in AI, Samsung is also working on an energy-efficient processor. This chipset will strive to reduce energy usage as smart home devices become more complex and data-intensive. The goal is for these AI-enabled appliances to have a 24-hour power consumption of less than 0.1 watts.
This statement comes as European consumers are beginning to place a higher value on connected devices due to their ability to save energy and money on electricity. These values guide the company’s use of AI and ensure its ethical and responsible application.
Samsung’s foray into the smart home market began in 2014 when it purchased SmartThings, an open Internet of Things (IoT) platform with headquarters in Washington. Since then, Samsung has continued to advance in the field of the smart home, and its most recent development represents a huge step in the direction of producing home appliances that are more logical and user-friendly.
