Samsung is stepping up its game by introducing its very own generative artificial intelligence (AI). While it might not be quite like ChatGPT or Google Bard, this AI is all about lending a helping hand in the kitchen. Set to be unveiled at the IFA Berlin event, let’s delve into what Samsung’s cooking up.
Samsung has just announced the arrival of its generative AI. Unlike ChatGPT or Google Bard, this AI has a unique focus: assisting users during their cooking adventures.
Integrated within Samsung Food, a brand-new platform for the company’s home appliances, this AI is tailored to culinary creations.
In recent years, the South Korean giant has introduced a wide range of connected kitchen products, including refrigerators and ovens.
Devices like the Family Hub refrigerator and the BESPOKE AI oven are all set to embrace this innovative addition.
The Arrival of Samsung’s ChatGPT in Your Kitchen
Samsung promises a “personalized food experience” through this platform. It’s designed to help users plan meals, search for recipes, store nutritional information, and manage their ingredients, all within one interface.
With Samsung Food, the company asserts that you won’t need to scour multiple websites or apps for recipes.
Imagine transforming a meat dish into a vegan delight or giving an Italian “gnocchi” a Korean twist. Samsung’s highlighting the versatility that this innovation brings to the table.
This tool will harness your food preferences, desired nutritional balance, and the list of available ingredients, conveniently provided by your smart fridge. It will even consider your cooking skills and how much time you’re willing to dedicate to preparing the dish.
If you’re aiming to shed a few pounds or prioritize your health, the AI can suggest personalized diet plans. These insights can be seamlessly combined with data from the Samsung Health app, allowing users to align their eating habits with their health goals.
This AI boasts “over 160,000 recipes.” The meal ideas it generates can be saved within the interface and shared across Samsung’s lineup of appliances.
Cooking instructions, including temperature and time, will be conveniently sent to these devices, making users’ lives easier. Samsung confirms that the platform will be accessible on smartphones and the touchscreens of their refrigerators.
Next year, Samsung Food will also feature “Vision AI.” This groundbreaking technology will provide nutritional information for food items using just a photo.
Upcoming Reveal
Samsung is gearing up to unveil the workings of Samsung Food and its integrated generative AI at the IFA 2023 event in Berlin, scheduled from September 1st to 5th, 2023.
The platform is set to launch on Android and iOS in the coming months, rolling out to 104 countries and supporting eight different languages.
This initiative bears some resemblance to Savey Meal, the conversational robot from New Zealand’s Pak ‘n’ Save supermarket chain.
Powered by OpenAI’s GPT language model, this chatbot can endlessly generate recipes based on a list of ingredients. Unlike Samsung’s offering, Savey Meal had a rough start, suggesting toxic recipes like bleach-infused rice or chlorine cocktails. We’re optimistic that Samsung’s alternative won’t be dishing out inedible and hazardous culinary ideas.
