Samsung announced a new AI roadmap at CES 2025, calling it the “AI for All” vision.
Samsung’s expanded scope for its AI features is to bring them into smart homes. According to its official statement, the Korean electronics brand wants to “leverage the power of AI” and personalise its services “across all intelligent, connected devices.”
More specifically, Samsung’s Galaxy AI will extend beyond mobile phones (One UI) to home appliances and visual displays.
Home AI for smart home intelligence
The home appliance AI’s name is Home AI, and Samsung said it can and will cater to different family types — be it singles or multi-generational families under a roof. Home AI is said to adapt to routines, making smart home products offer a hyper-personalised experience.
In anticipation of Home AI’s expansion into SmartThings (its existing smart home ecosystem), Samsung will tap into its “signature blockchain technology”, where its Samsung Knox Matrix security and privacy platform helps protect Home AI-enabled products.
To give SmartThings more legs for AI, it’s getting SmartThings Ambient Sensing, which is crucial to smart home products reading the environment and situation to provide responses and adapt to human daily routines.
Samsung will also go deeper with its Bixby Voice (proprietary AI voice assistant), integrating it with Home AI and making it possible to recognise multiple, individual voices for commands.
Vision AI for personalised display viewing experiences
Samsung’s new visual intelligence AI, Samsung Vision AI, was unveiled at CES 2025. This AI helps personalise display experiences, like getting smarter Samsung TVs. Some perks of Vision AI include Live Translate and Click To Search on TVs. For improved viewing quality, it offers AI features like 8K AI Upscaling Pro, Auto HDR Remastering Pro, and Colour Booster Pro.
B2B residential AI, AI for controlling ships, and Hyundai as SmartThings partner
For B2B spaces, Samsung launched an enterprise, multi-residential version of the smart home AI interface called SmartThings Pro. This has been available since June 2024, which lets businesses control smart spaces with maintenance, monitoring, and climate control in mind.
The maritime version is called SmartThings for Ships, allowing ship captains and crew members to automate the starting of a ship’s engine, on top of temperature and light control, and monitor abnormal activity on the crew’s behalf.
Samsung is also partnering with Hyundai to bring SmartThings to Hyundai EVs, allowing users to use SmartThings to locate parked cars and get estimates on EV charging needs.
