Samsung, having successfully launched its first Galaxy AI-equipped smartphones, the Galaxy S24 series, is now planning to extend these features to a broader range of products, including its wearable tech line. The South Korean tech giant has expressed its ambition to enhance the user experience across multiple device categories using artificial intelligence. As part of this expansion, wearable devices are poised to benefit from AI-driven innovations in digital health and intelligent user interactions.
AI-Powered Health Innovations on the Horizon
The President and CEO of Samsung MX, TM Roh, has written an editorial outlining the company’s vision to implement Galaxy AI in future wearable devices. While details about the specific AI enhancements are scarce, there is anticipation that these features may debut in upcoming products such as the Galaxy Ring and the Galaxy Watch 7 series. These wearables are expected to launch later this year, potentially alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6, during a Galaxy Unpacked event.
Galaxy Watches: Enhanced Accuracy and Performance
Over recent years, Samsung has improved the fitness and health tracking capabilities of its Galaxy Watches, including increased accuracy and better app integration after transitioning to Wear OS. Collaborations with universities and corporations have furthered the smartwatches’ performance. Introducing AI into the mix can translate into quicker responses and interpretations of the health data collected by Galaxy Watches.
TM Roh emphasizes that AI’s potential extends beyond smartphones to transform the entire industry. While Samsung nurtures numerous concepts and innovations for future implementation, it acknowledges AI’s current early stage, with challenges such as hallucinations and intellectual property rights debates. Nonetheless, Samsung is determined to advance open collaboration on AI, prioritizing privacy and security for all Galaxy devices.
Additionally, older Galaxy smartphones, including the S23 lineup and previous models of the Z Flip and Z Fold, are not left behind. Samsung aims to retroactively furnish these devices with Galaxy AI features, with the Galaxy Tab S9 series possibly joining the list.
Samsung’s commitment to integrating AI across its product spectrum is indicative of the industry’s direction towards more intelligent technology. Users can expect to see more personalized and proactive services as the company continues to develop its AI capabilities.
