The future ofartificial intelligence is it that scary? Between deep fakes and Terminator-style scenarios, the suggestions would suggest a fearful approach on the part of the Italians. And instead it seems that there is a general climate of trust and that 79% of the population considers AI an ally in everyday life.
These are the data that emerge from a research conducted by Human Highway of Milan for Samsung and according to which half of the interviewees see the strength of new technologies above all as saving time through smartphones and laptops. But, in a period in which sustainability is becoming increasingly important, for 70% the main application of artificial intelligence is to help contain energy consumption.
And precisely this no longer so remote future is at the center of the concept of “AI for All” by Samsung, which has been engaged for years in the development of the so-called IoT (the internet “of things”).

Which is exactly the area in which Samsung aims to intervene. They explained it well Nicolò Bellorinivice president head of business mobile experience – who spoke about the impact of AI on smartphones and wearables – Bruno Marnativice president head of audio video – which focused on smart TVs – and Daniele Grassi, vice president head of home appliances – who talked about the future of household appliances. In particular, the three underlined how Samsung's strategy is to keep artificial intelligences at the service of the user, to make their life simpler and more pleasant, integrating them into the various devices used daily.
From the smartphone to the smart TV, from the refrigerator to the robot vacuum cleaner, the advent of AI allows – according to the company – to create an evolved, constantly updated ecosystem that allows for a truly personalized experience. Without forgetting security, a theme that has always been dear to Samsung.
