Samsung to Unveil AI-Powered Refrigerator with Google’s Gemini Model

Seoul: Samsung Electronics announced plans to showcase a premium refrigerator featuring Google's artificial intelligence model, Gemini, which can recognize food items stored inside through a built-in camera. The South Korean tech giant will unveil the new Bespoke AI refrigerator in the United States during the First Look event ahead of CES, set to begin next month in Las Vegas.

According to Philippines News Agency, the Bespoke AI refrigerator is the first home appliance equipped with Gemini. The new model is capable of identifying a far wider range of food products compared to previous models, which were limited to recognizing only dozens of items. This advancement aims to assist consumers in better managing their ingredients as Gemini will recommend recipes and aid with grocery shopping.

Additionally, Samsung plans to integrate Gemini into its wine refrigerators. This application will enable the appliance to recognize wine labels and provide users with stored bottle lists. Moon Jong-seung, head of Samsung's digital appliances division, stated that the advanced AI vision, enabled through collaboration with Google, will help Samsung offer a distinctive food experience.
