Samsung is all set for the upcoming CES 2020 tradeshow, which is scheduled for January 7, 2020. The South Korean company will be announcing a bunch of products, amongst which there will be an AI project called Neon. The Samsung Neon AI project will launch on January 7.
Samsung’s ‘human-like’ AI Neon
Samsung’s Star (Samsung Technology and Advanced Research) Lab has been working on an AI, dubbed Neon for a while now. The project will finally see the light of the day in 2020, during CES 2020 to be precise. As hinted by Neon’s Twitter handle.
While we lack details about Neon, (neither social media nor the website has information on it) the AI is expected to have ‘human-like’ properties and could be far more enhanced than the existing virtual assistants. Additionally, Neon is likely to work with 5G.
It is further suggested that Neon has nothing to do with Samsung’s current Bixby virtual assistant and will be a totally new take on the AI tech, “something you have never seen before.”
If at all the AI project turns out to be revolutionary, it will be a tough competition for the likes of Google Assistant and Siri, and even Samsung’s own Bixby that failed to impress the masses.
According to a report by the Korean Herald, an industrial official said, “A newly emerging trend in AI is to make AI platforms resemble humans. Global tech giants including Samsung are racing to create something that can be called AI assistants that are like real humans, beyond the current device-based platforms.”
As concrete details are still behind the curtain, we will have to wait until the forthcoming CES 2020 tech event for a conclusive idea.
As a reminder, CES 2020 will take place in Las Vegas from January 7 and will go on until January 10. Hence, stay tuned for further updates.
