Recently, Samsung has partnered with Google to bring the AI features with the introduction of Gemini in Galaxy S24 series.

“Our goal with Galaxy AI is not only to pioneer a new era of mobile AI, but also to empower users by making AI more accessible,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics.

Samsung has a leading role to play in the AI revolution since mobile devices have become the primary access point for AI, he added.

Samsung also said there are challenges and responsibilities to consider because AI models are still susceptible to hallucinations.

In near future, Samsung might use AI on select Galaxy wearables to enhance intelligent health experiences.
