Samsung releases AI-enabled household products worldwide

Samsung Electronics made synchronised consumer experiences as their promise while introducing the newest AI-powered home appliances worldwide. Vice Chairman Han Jong-hee emphasised simultaneous launches globally while showcasing the appliances' sophisticated capabilities. Products featuring interactive screens and SmartThings connectivity include refrigerators, vacuum cleaners and washer-dryer combinations.

The consumer electronics brand has come up with a range of AI-powered home appliances at its BKC store in Mumbai. As per the company, these AI-powered smart appliances will contribute 70% of Samsung’s sales in India. The products include washing machines, refrigerators, microwaves and residential air conditioners.

Samsung said that the appliances have inbuilt Wi-Fi, internal cameras and AI chips in order to provide convenient home management. As for the features of these appliances, the refrigerator is capable of automatically recognising up to 33 food items with the help of an AI vision camera. It can even suggest what to cook for lunch or dinner based on items stored in the refrigerator.

The air conditioner, powered by AI, can send notification to users to turn on and off the appliances when they are within a specified range or moving away from the range via SmartThings application. The microwave can help automatically customise the recipe to a ‘low fat’ version.

The washing machine can learn the laundry routines over time. It can also evolve the wash cycles accordingly. It automatically adjusts to the most used wash settings, unless manually changed to another customised wash cycle. Further, the AI Wash feature senses the weight of the load, the kind of fabrics involved and their softness, water level, soiling level, and detergent level to create a custom wash recipe.

“We are introducing Bespoke AI, our next big innovation in home appliances which will ensure smarter living for Indian homes and reduce energy consumption, contributing to a greener planet. With our Bespoke AI-powered home appliances, consumers will be able to customise their choices, get easy controls for elders and kids, and get seamless diagnosis for their home appliances. With the transformative power of AI, we are confident that Bespoke AI will strengthen our leadership in the digital appliances market in India,” said JB Park, President and CEO, Samsung Southwest Asia.
