Samsung Electronics reveals plans to embed generative AI in home appliances, transforming user experiences while championing eco-friendly solutions and setting new industry energy standards.
At the IFA tech trade show in Berlin, Yoo Mi-young, head of the software development team of Samsung's digital appliances division, shared the company's vision of incorporating advanced AI technologies into their products to improve users' lives.
According to Yoo, generative AI will be integrated into Samsung's home appliances' voice, vision, and display functions. This breakthrough will enable a deeper understanding of user preferences and behavior, allowing appliances to respond more intuitively to their needs. Imagine household gadgets engaging conversationally, providing tailored recipes, dietary suggestions, and personalized solutions based on past interactions.
In addition to enhancing user experience, Samsung is committed to environmental sustainability. The company is developing a new chipset that will significantly reduce energy consumption, which is particularly important as smarter devices process massive amounts of data. Yoo expressed Samsung's aim to create a chipset that consumes less than 0.1 watts per 24 hours of usage, setting a new industry standard.
Integrating AI technologies into home appliances holds special significance for European consumers, who increasingly prioritize energy efficiency. By optimizing energy consumption and reducing electricity bills, interconnected appliances demonstrate their value in helping users save money and promote eco-friendly living.
Transparency and accountability are foundational principles for Samsung in AI technology development. Yoo emphasized that fairness, transparency, and accountability drive the company's decisions and ensure ethical practices in this evolving field.
Samsung's dedication to smart home innovation began in 2014 with the acquisition of SmartThings, an open platform for the Internet of Things (IoT).
Through continued investment and research, the company aims to connect all home appliances, enabling them to sense and adapt to their surroundings based on learned patterns. This transformative approach enables appliances to recommend optimized settings, offering users the best options.
