The Evolving Era of Home Appliances Meets AI and Software

Over the past century, home appliances have evolved to reduce the burden of household chores and add convenience to lives.

The accelerated development of these appliances is marked by the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technology that analyzes usage environments and executes optimal functions to significantly alleviate inconveniences associated with household tasks.

To that end, Samsung Electronics is updating its home appliances every year. With software at the core, these products are transforming from bulky machines into advanced electronic devices perfect for everyday living.

AI Home Appliances Become Lifelong Partners

Samsung home appliances are gradually expanding their role as daily companions through AI. For instance, AI Vision Inside in the Bespoke AI Family Hub™¹ automatically recognizes food ingredients placed on the refrigerator's shelves with the internal camera to create a food list and remind users of expiration dates. Meanwhile, the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ provides a streamlined washing and drying experience with an AI-customized course.

SmartThings offers an interconnected ecosystem of various home appliances and IoT devices that fit users' lifestyles. Furthermore, the screens on Samsung's AI home appliances combine the latest hardware and software to orchestrate a multi-device experience that lets users easily control appliances in their homes.

Software Updates With AI Voice Assist and Added Security

As home appliances become increasingly software-driven, regular updates are critical. Samsung brought more than 50 major feature updates to its core home appliance lineup this year through Smart Forward, the company's software updating service via SmartThings.

Previously exclusive to the 2024 Bespoke 4-Door Refrigerator with AI Family Hub™, Quick Share will now be supported on Family Hub™ refrigerators released in 2017 and later through a software update. Now, users can easily view photos and videos from their smartphone, continue browsing web pages, watch YouTube videos and even create personalized images with the Generative Wallpaper feature all from the Family Hub™ refrigerator's large screen.
