A standout feature is the integration of AI into Samsung’s SmartThings platform. This smart home system connects devices like smartphones, tablets, and TVs, enabling them to work together intelligently. With AI-powered tools like Ambient Sensing, SmartThings learns users’ routines and adjusts devices accordingly. For instance, a smartphone can communicate with other devices to manage energy consumption or optimize home environments based on user preferences.

Samsung also announced enhancements to Bixby Voice, the company’s AI voice assistant, which now recognizes individual voices and customizes responses. This improvement simplifies interactions, whether through a Galaxy smartphone or other connected devices.

AI is also driving advancements in security with Samsung Knox Matrix. This feature uses blockchain technology to protect mobile devices and connected appliances, ensuring robust privacy and security for users. The Knox Vault isolates sensitive data, providing an additional layer of protection.

Also, Samsung Health (enhanced by AI and a partnership with Dexcom) empowers users to manage their health more effectively. Using insights from the Galaxy Ring and Galaxy Watch, it helps users interpret data and make informed wellness decisions.
