Samsung will allow AI wallpaper creation on its touchscreen refrigerators
Samsung has announced new AI capabilities for its smart appliances, including new AI-generated wallpapers for select refrigerators, as well as an AI upgrade to its Bixby voice assistant. The updated Bixby will be available on five Samsung Bespoke devices starting August 27.
The company said the AI-generated wallpapers will be available on Samsung Family Hub refrigerators released in the United States and Korea after 2022. To create a wallpaper, users will choose a theme from seven categories and one of six art styles. Once a new wallpaper is created, it can be displayed on the refrigerator's external display or whiteboard, or saved to an album for later viewing. The wallpaper will require a Wi-Fi connection, and users will be limited to creating five wallpapers per day.
The improved Bixby will be able to understand complex commands, remember your previous conversations, and answer troubleshooting questions. That means you could ask your washing machine what time dinner is and then have it finish an hour earlier, according to one of the examples Samsung listed. In another example, the company suggests asking Bixby about error codes or why your refrigerator is making a clicking noise.
However, only certain Samsung devices launching in 2024 will get the Bixby upgrade, including the Bespoke 4-Door Refrigerator with AI Family Hub, Bespoke AI Laundry Combo, and the AI WindFree Gallery standalone air conditioner.
