IFA 2024 — Europe’s largest consumer electronics trade show held in Berlin, Germany — opened on September 6 with Samsung Electronics showcasing an impressive array of AI-powered products and services under its vision of “AI for All.”
At IFA 2024, Samsung unveiled its vision of “AI for All,” emphasizing the company’s dedication to making artificial intelligence accessible to everyone. This commitment is reflected in Samsung’s diverse range of AI-powered products, which include mobile devices, household appliances, and entertainment systems. By integrating AI into these products, Samsung aims to enhance everyday life and ensure that more people can benefit from the advancements in artificial intelligence.
Samsung is offering users a streamlined user experience with its Bespoke AI home appliances , which now offer improved voice control with the Bixby update , which can understand multiple commands in a single sentence, recall previous context to execute continuous commands for personalized responses, and provide answers to product-related questions. Samsung is also offering users greater control and accessibility benefits. For example, Samsung has developed and implemented an automatic door opening feature on select models of washing machines and refrigerators, so users can open the doors with a light touch . A recent update allows you to open the door simply by saying “Open the refrigerator door,” even without a wake-up command like “Hey Bixby.”
Ensure energy savings
Samsung continues to prioritize energy efficiency in its products and leverages AI to do so, whether it’s in appliances like refrigerators and washing machines or to unlock the potential of the SmartThings ecosystem to help save energy. Samsung’s AI Hybrid refrigerators are designed to save energy. By combining two energy sources, a compressor and Peltier cooling technology, the refrigerator intelligently responds when more energy than usual is being used. For example, if the refrigerator door is left open for a longer period of time, Peltier technology works as an additional cooling source to improve overall energy efficiency.

Under its premium brand AEG, it will be unveiling the biggest kitchen launch ever, including AI-assisted cooking for the first time. The new AEG Kitchen Range will be officially revealed at the AEG Media Conference at IFA on 5th September.
“What better place than Berlin – the birthplace of AEG, where it all started almost 140 years ago – to launch our biggest and best kitchen range yet,” says Anna Ohlsson-Leijon, CEO Business Area Europe APMEA & Group Executive VP, Electrolux Group. “The new AEG Kitchen Range is designed to meet the growing demand for premium experiences in today’s market. And it’s perfectly timed: consumers are increasingly looking for high-quality, personalized and sustainable solutions when cooking at home – and our new range delivers just that.”
AEG’s most significant full kitchen launch to date
The new AEG Kitchen Range includes solutions in every product category, including ovens, hobs, hoods, refrigeration and dishwashers. Designed for consumers who want to take their cooking skills further, the new range is packed with smart technology including AI TasteAssist, a new cutting-edge function that has been developed to help consumers make the most of their oven when trying new recipes.
Research reveals that 80% of consumers search online for recipes [1], and many are unsure how to use their oven effectively. AI TasteAssist bridges this gap. By simply sending the recipe to the oven, the feature analyzes it to understand a number of key facets including timing, temperature and protein type. AI TasteAssist then automatically selects the optimal cooking settings.
The new Kitchen Range also features CookSmart Touch Display – an intuitive interface that guides users through every step of the cooking process. For the first time, CookSmart Touch provides a seamless experience across ovens, hobs, and built-in coffee machines. A new Assisted Dishes function gives step-by-step guidance on how to cook a complete dish to perfection plus, it can also guide the user as to which accessories to use and the steps to be taken. CookSmart Touch on hobs, as with ovens, empowers the user with full and effortless control over the cooking experience. At the touch of a finger, consumers can easily access Assisted Cooking and effortlessly delegate boiling or assign pan-frying. Sous-vide, simmering and melting modes are also available.Also on show at this year’s IFA will be the latest range of award-winning [6], smart laundry appliances from the Electrolux brand. The new range includes washers, washer dryers and tumble dryers with energy-saving features designed to make clothes last longer and reduce the use of resources.
In the Wellbeing innovation area, both AEG and Electrolux will be revealing new full ranges of cordless cleaners, offering enhanced power, greater versatility, and effortless ease of use.
LG Electronics (LG) is set to unveil its latest lineup of home appliances boasting industry-leading energy efficiency. Designed in response to the European Union’s ongoing efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, and aligned with the REPowerEU plan to reduce EU member countries’ dependency on fossil fuels, the new appliances leverage LG’s advanced core technologies to provide superb performance with reduced power consumption.
LG’s latest washing machine and dryer set new standards for energy efficiency. The washing machine is able to perform a new drum motion that helps deliver clean laundry while minimizing the energy consumption of its Artificial Intelligence Direct Drive (AI DD™) motor. The washer intelligently adjusts the motor’s RPM in real-time, contributing to the appliance’s impressive A-55 percent energy rating1 and preventing laundry from tangling or twisting. Additionally, LG’s new washing machine comes with a Microplastic Care cycle that reduces the shedding of microplastics from laundry,2 as well as the ezDispense™ feature, which automatically dispenses the right amount of detergent for each load.
Meanwhile, the efficient, new dryer has an A+++-26 percent energy rating.3 Both of LG’s latest laundry appliances are equipped with AI-driven innovations; the washing machine’s AI DD motor and AI Wash feature offer enhanced fabric-sensing capabilities and strong performance, while the dryer’s AI Dry™ provides accurate moisture detection and optimal drying for a range of different materials and laundry items. The washing machine can also automatically set cycle and temperature options based on usage patterns and change the order in which cycles are displayed on the control panel (according to usage-frequency) for a more convenient user experience.
Refrigerators with High Efficiency and Premium Design
Offering the lowest energy consumption of any refrigerator currently on the market, the new LG bottom-freezer refrigerator has an A-25 percent energy rating4 and brings style to the kitchen with its premium flat door design. In addition, the new model generates only 29dB during operation for a more peaceful kitchen environment. To give European customers greater choice, LG is expanding its line of highly efficient refrigerators, introducing a large capacity side-by-side model5 in addition to the new bottom-freezer. The new side-by-side refrigerator offers convenient features, such as the company’s unique Craft Ice spherical-ice maker, and easy hygiene management with UVnano™ technology.
Convenient and Efficient Kitchen Solution
Along with A++ energy efficiency,6 LG’s new 60-centimeter (24-inch) built-in InstaView™ oven presents a variety of cutting-edge features and AI technologies to elevate the culinary experience. The oven provides a total of 80 Auto Cook modes, and, with Gourmet AI™️, can identify the dish being cooked through its built-in camera, and automatically select the appropriate cooking mode from a database of 30 recipes. Making life in the kitchen that much easier, LG’s InstaView technology lets users check on their meal’s progress without even having to open the door, helping to preserve the temperature inside the oven and prevent energy waste.
Incorporating the company’s power-saving Inverter Direct Drive Motor™, the new LG QuadWash™ dishwasher has an energy efficiency rating of A-20 percent.7 The dishwasher also enhances convenience with its Side Rack and 3rd Rack options, offering users the loading flexibility to accommodate a variety of different kitchenware.
