Recently, Samsung partnered with Google to bring AI features with the introduction of Gemini in the Galaxy S24 series.
“Our goal with Galaxy AI is not only to usher in a new era of mobile AI, but also to empower users by making AI more accessible,” said TM Roh, President and Head of the Mobile eXperience activity at Samsung Electronics.
Samsung has a leading role to play in the AI revolution as mobile devices have become the primary access point to AI, he added.
Samsung also said there are challenges and responsibilities to consider because AI models are still susceptible to hallucinations.
In the near future, Samsung could use AI on some Galaxy wearable devices to improve smart health experiences.
