Samsung AI For All

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.”

Bespoke AI Family Hub refrigerator uses AI for image recognition, recipe suggestions and more.
The Bespoke AI Laundry ComboTM received an A-grade energy efficiency class rating for its washing and drying capabilities.

Samsung’s “AI for Everyone”

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.
