The Samsung fridge can also order groceries from the supermarket.
The artificial intelligence that powers the Samsung fridge will inform people about when the groceries kept in the fridge are about to expire.
Artificial Intelligence has already revolutionised the world, with its uses ranging from face recognition in iPhones and smart cars to digital assistants. While many cynics continue to mull over the chances of misuse of AI, renowned Korean company Samsung has come up with an AI-powered refrigerator.
On Wednesday, Samsung introduced a selection of AI-powered
home appliances
as part of its new line-up of digital appliances, showcased at the ‘Bespoke AI’ event held at Samsung BKC in the Jio World Plaza, Mumbai. Among these innovations is a refrigerator equipped with AI vision, capable of identifying 33 different food items and compiling recipes.
The artificial intelligence that powers the fridge will inform people about when the groceries kept in the fridge are about to expire and who has secretly drunk your beer or eaten leftover food. It can also receive incoming calls on your phone. Its state-of-the-art technology tells you the exact time a certain item has been removed from the fridge and can play music of your choice.
It can also order groceries from the supermarket when it realises a certain item is low on storage. It also has a camera showing who is ringing your doorbell. But the feature that takes the cake is the capability of the AI to suggest recipes to the owner, by mixing the food items kept inside the fridge.
Tanya Weller, director of Samsung’s digital appliance department in Britain, said that the company launched the first fridge about 50 years ago. Since then it has always pushed its standards of innovation forward. She added that this AI-powered fridge ushers in a new era of technology. With the help of AI, people can prevent the wastage of money, electricity and food. In this way, the burden on every house will also be reduced.
Apart from this fridge, some other appliances that were launched at the ‘Bespoke AI’ event are a microwave that can automatically cook diet-friendly food and a
washing machine
that can recognize the washing schedule followed by the owner and adjust its cycles accordingly.
