It is an exciting time to be a consumer in Southeast Asia and Oceania (SEAO), as the digital landscape undergoes profound transformation, fueled by the rapid adoption of AI technologies. In a dynamic region like SEAO with diverse local cultures and values, a new generation of tech-savvy consumers – Gen Zs and Millennials – are demanding highly personalised experiences that appeal to their unique preferences across product and service offerings. Increasingly, consumers expect technology to seamlessly integrate into their lives, anticipate their needs, and to offer tailored solutions that truly matter.

At Samsung, we recognise this ongoing paradigm shift and are committed to meeting this demand head-on with our vision for AI to power new innovations across our businesses and to unlock new and personalised experiences to make life better for everyone. With many devices around the world and even more connected through Samsung’s platforms and services, we are uniquely positioned to bring an AI-powered future to life across the strength and scale of our diversified businesses.

This vision is underpinned by our decade-long investment in research and development, as well as in AI technologies. These investments are part of a long-term plan to ensure that Samsung remains at the forefront of AI innovation, enabling us to deliver on our promise of personalised AI experiences.

Delivering Personalised Experiences through AI

To meet the unique needs and preferences of consumers in SEAO, we are tailoring our AI strategy to bring personalised experiences to users here, emphasising cultural relevance and localisation. We understand that just as users in SEAO come from a proverbial melting pot of languages and cultures, building a one-size-fits-all solution simply cannot work, and therefore we want to develop AI solutions that are sensitive to the diverse needs in our region.

Galaxy AI: Wider Support of Languages and Dialects in SEAO

To start, Galaxy AI[1], available on select Samsung mobile devices, now supports a wider range of languages and dialects in SEAO, making it more accessible and useful to our customers. Earlier this year, we announced the addition of new languages and dialects, including Australian English and Cantonese, adding to a total of 16 languages[2] available in Australia. We are committed in our efforts, and have since expanded support for Galaxy AI to 20 languages[3]  available in Australia.

We are also extending the capabilities of Galaxy AI to more Samsung mobile device users, further democratising access to AI-powered experiences. The newest Galaxy Z Fold6 and Flip6 devices bring Galaxy AI to foldable form factors, unlocking new possibilities for users in SEAO and globally. With the One UI 6.1.1 update, which has begun rollout in SEAO, the latest Galaxy AI features such as Sketch to image[4] and Portrait Studio[5] will be expanded to even more Galaxy models, bringing the power of personalised AI into more hands. To cater to the unique needs of different consumer groups, we also continue to provide more choices through various devices such as our latest Galaxy 24 FE and tablets that also have Galaxy AI features available.

Launch of Galaxy Ring in SEAO

For our wearable companions, we are tapping onto AI to augment offerings such as Samsung Health, to provide users with personalised insights and recommendations to improve their well-being. By bringing Galaxy AI to Galaxy Watch, we are combining powerful on-device AI with the extensive Samsung Health app to enable more comprehensive health insights, along with motivational encouragement to help you improve your daily wellness[6].

Expanding our wearables portfolio further, the Galaxy Ring, which will launch in our region this quarter, offers a simple approach to everyday wellness in yet another form factor. Designed for 24/7 health monitoring, Galaxy Ring is compact and fits comfortably on the finger. Galaxy Ring features Samsung’s leading sleep analysis and a powerful sleep AI algorithm to help users easily understand sleep patterns and build better habits3. The new features like Energy Score[7] enable users to receive a better understanding of their daily condition through a combined analysis of personal health metrics including sleep time, sleeping heart rate, and more. This is just the start of Samsung’s journey to build some of the most personalised health experiences yet.

Smarter and personalised homes with AI

Across our wider Samsung ecosystem of home appliances and TVs, we are working hard to integrate AI to further improve the lives of our customers, allowing them to manage their homes in a smarter way. Some of our new home appliances are equipped with AI capabilities that enable them to connect with each other for simplified usage and control, as well as improved performance, creating experiences where you can live more by doing less.

For example, with built-in Wi-Fi, internal cameras, AI-enabling chips and compatibility with SmartThings, our latest Bespoke AI appliances integrate enhanced features and connectivity to lay the foundation for a truly smart home. Our AI Family Hub^TM French Door Refrigerator comes with AI Vision Inside[8], which uses an internal camera to identify up to 33 fresh food items that go in and out of the fridge. Users can easily manage their food list and get recipe recommendations for a more personalised kitchen experience. Providing a seamless and customised laundry solution, the Bespoke AI Heat Pump Combo^TM, intelligently adjusts the washing and drying performance for each load with AI Wash & Dry[9]. It also senses the weight of the laundry, fabric[10], and soil level to dispense the appropriate amount of water and detergent[11], and then adjusts the drying process to suit the weight and fabric.

The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo^TM, which will be launched in all SEAO markets this year, presents innovative solutions for a fuss-free experience.

Even our TVs are smarter today, with Samsung TVs like the Neo QLED 8K coming with features like AI Customisation Mode that adjusts the picture based on user preference. With AI Energy Mode, available when connected to SmartThings, it helps to monitor energy usage in real-time and adjusts to the environment, without compromising picture quality. 

The Neo QLED 8K’s AI Customisation Mode automatically adjusts picture settings to users’ preferences.

Samsung’s Commitment to Responsible AI

As we continue to push the boundaries of AI innovation, Samsung remains committed to responsible AI development. Our AI ethics principles of ‘Fairness’, ‘Transparency’, and ‘Accountability’ guide our approach[12], ensuring that we develop and deploy AI technologies in a manner that is ethical and respects the rights of individuals.

Our approach to AI is quite like the security-first mindset that we first pioneered with Knox. In this, we want to give users the flexibility to personalise their privacy and security settings, exactly according to their preferences. The Galaxy AI dashboard lets users stay in control of their privacy while continuing to enjoy all the benefits of Galaxy AI.

The Future of Personalised AI with Samsung

We are excited about the future of personalised AI, and we want to continue leading the way for the consumer AI revolution in SEAO. We believe that AI has the potential to transform all our lives for the better, and we want to play a more active role in shaping a future where AI-powered personalisation is accessible and beneficial to all, and in a responsible manner.

As AI becomes ubiquitous, we have to focus not just on the technology, but the human-centric experiences, value and benefits that are meaningful to consumers for us to drive AI leadership.

There’s no better time than now to embrace the potential of personalised AI with Samsung. We invite you to join us on this exciting journey as we continue to innovate and create AI experiences that enrich your lives.

Users can also set use by dates’ on the AI Family Hub screen for food items, which then allows the refrigerator to send a notification when the set date draws near[2]; conveniently helping to save money by reducing food waste.

The arrival marks the recent reinforcement of Samsung’s leadership and commitment to the BESPOKE AI range, demonstrating its vision for how connectivity amongst them can improve the overall experience at home, and how AI enhances the performance of appliances. BESPOKE AI encompasses how Samsung home appliances not only perform well with the usual tasks, but can do more than previously imagined with AI applied.

Jong-Hee (JH) Han, Vice Chairman, CEO and Head of Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics said “Since the first introduction of BESPOKE in 2019, Samsung Electronics has presented to the market on how appliances can be customised to best fit each user’s home and lifestyle.

“Five years later, we now share our vision for AI in appliances with the products that expand the Bespoke legacy through enhanced connectivity and AI capabilities that will take the consumer experience to the next level.”

636L and 809L AI Family Hub^TM French Door Refrigerator with Internal Beverage Centre^TM

The AI Family Hub is the cornerstone of any kitchen. As its name suggests, the AI Family Hub is the primary control center for all things food, connecting the refrigerator to other appliances in the home in addition to other devices. With the AI Family Hub, users can experience a whole new way of living conveniently.

Key technology included in the AI Family Hub range includes:

• AI Family Hub: AI Family Hub provides an enhanced and richer user experience. It comes in the form of a 21.5” screen, making it easy to control the refrigerator while giving users a fun way to share photos^[3] and messages, watch YouTube videos through the Family Hub app, listen to music,^[4] and access information through the Internet^[5]
• AI Vision Inside: AI Vision Inside^[6] intelligently simplifies daily food management, allowing users to get enjoyment out of smartly managing their food. Using an internal camera,^[7] it can identify certain fresh food items when they are put into or taken out of the refrigerator. This recognition makes it easier to manage a food list^[8] that can also be checked from the SmartThings App.^[9] Users can view images of items in the door bins, as well. AI Vision Inside can also suggest relevant recipes and allows users to manually set use-by dates.
• SmartThings Energy: SmartThings Energy can help monitor your energy consumption in real time, compares it to the previous month and alerts you if the estimated energy usage exceeds your preset target[10].
• It’s more than a fridge: Make the AI Family Hub the heart of your home and organise like a pro with enhanced communication, entertainment and food management[11]. You can share photos and messages through compatible devices, enjoy non-stop entertainment, create personalised recipe ideas and seamlessly control your compatible smart devices[12]. And AI Vision Inside[13] can help you manage food easily by an automatically updated food list.
• Triple Cooling + Metal Cooling: Triple Cooling technology supplies cool air independently to the 3 compartments in the fridge and freezer. It helps maintain the optimal temperature and humidity in each compartment and can help ensure that your food is not tainted by other strong smells. Additionally, the Metal Cooling duct can help maintain a consistent internal temperature.
• Internal Beverage Centre: We’ve hidden the water dispenser inside the door to keep a seamless, flat door design outside for a clean, premium finish. The clever door in door design allows quick access to a handy and hygienic Beverage Centre inside including the 1.4L autofill water jug[14], water dispenser and drinks storage so you get function without the mess[15].
• Dual Auto Ice Maker: Be prepared for any occasion. The Dual Auto Ice Maker has separate ice makers that serve regular Cubed Ice and Ice Bites. The Ice Bites are smaller and chill drinks fast, so are especially good for families with children. Make up to 2.3kg of ice a day and store up to 3.1kg at a time [16], and because the ice maker is in the freezer instead of the door, it frees up storage space in the fridge.
• SmartThings Home Care[19]: SmartThings Home Care[20] provides real-time monitoring and alerts. You can check on its status, including the condition of the water filter[21]. It also automatically notifies you if parts need replacing or problems are detected and suggests a solution.
