Artificial intelligence (AI) is not only widely known in chatbots, virtual assistants, or similar tools – it is also being integrated into everyday appliances. A prime example of this is Samsung, which offers AI solutions in its smart AI fridge that can greatly impact the efficiency of one’s household.
Samsung is Already a Well-Known Company Worldwide
Probably, when hearing the name Samsung, we immediately think of smartphones, which are among the market leaders. However, the South Korean multinational company is a strong player in the home appliances and consumer electronics industry, standing out with its innovative and modern solutions beyond just the smartphone market.
Samsung Electronics ranks as the 24th most valuable company in the world by market capitalization, which, as of May 2023, stood at $325.10 billion.
AI Era In the Company
Samsung started talking about a new AI era back in 2024, after introducing its first refrigerator, washing machine, and air conditioner in 1974, and since 2019, Bespoke appliances have been developed.
One such device is the AI fridge, which is gradually improving with the introduction of new features. Currently, Samsung has introduced its latest smart fridge model, “Side by Side” with “Family Hub” – pre-orders have already begun (the price is €2,649).
Artificial intelligence in Samsung refrigerators is integrated into several aspects:
- Smart display. With “Family Hub”, the user can easily control the refrigerator by voice (using “Samsung Bixby”). The screen allows sharing photos, listening to music, and receiving useful information directly on the refrigerator screen with the “Daily Board” function.
- Auto-opening doors. The AI fridge has integrated sensors that allow the doors to open automatically when touched. An informational sound signal is emitted when they open.
- Virtual assistant. The “Samsung Bixby” assistant can truly make everyday life easier. It can provide information and perform tasks. In the latest model, this virtual assistant has been improved – it can communicate using previous conversation context and handle multiple commands at once.
- SmartThings function enables the user to intelligently control their home by integrating other devices. The company offers an “AI Energy Mode” that monitors energy consumption and can reduce it by up to 10%, as well as tracking the defrosting process.
With Wi-Fi, the AI fridge can be controlled from anywhere via an app – setting the temperature, receiving notifications if the doors are left open, etc. The device’s condition is monitored in real time, informing about specific malfunctions, the need to replace a certain component, and providing information about the water filter’s condition.
- Food monitoring. Without opening the refrigerator, the user can see the list of products inside, track their expiration dates, and access personalized recipes.
Not Only Smart AI Fridges
AI is becoming popular not only in the AI fridge industry. Currently, smart robots, which impress with their autonomy and capabilities, are probably even more popular. Consumers can also choose from smart ovens and dishwashers.
All these AI-enabled devices make them even more attractive to consumers. They can simplify daily life and provide a completely different experience.
For example, AI systems in vacuum cleaners can help increase cleaning accuracy, ovens can be monitored remotely via a smart app from anywhere in the house, and the same app can be used to control dishwashers.
Final Thoughts
Smart devices, such as the Samsung AI Fridge, open new everyday perspectives. Today, we have the opportunity to live in a way that no one has technologically lived before.
