Recently, Samsung reached a milestone at the Samsung Developer Conference 2024 (SDC24). It marked a decade since its birth. Over the last ten years, SDC has become a significant hub for developers, creators, and tech enthusiasts interested in innovation at the cutting edge of Samsung. This year’s focus was on cutting-edge AI-based solutions that will shape future connected devices, intelligent systems, and enhanced user experiences.
A Decade of Innovation at SDC
SDC was launched in 2014 to bring the developers together to interact with Samsung’s ecosystem. The incredible technology that has been released as part of the years through SDC includes SmartThings from Samsung, Bixby, and the Galaxy Fold series. From wearables to smart home systems, SDC has spearheaded the efforts on the line where the empowerment of developers unleashes the potential of Samsung’s hardware and software. The year in the limelight was artificial intelligence, and how Samsung is utilizing it to change technology for tomorrow.
AI Takes Center Stage
AI was at the heart of most breakthroughs announced at SDC24. Samsung laid out its role for AI in the future, with innovations geared toward enhancing the way users relate with their devices, homes, and daily lives. The focus of the year has been on:
AI-Enhanced User Experiences
The company demonstrated its AI-based systems for optimizing user interactions across devices. With the power of smarter processing, AI helps to make life’s interactions more fluid and intuitive. For instance, AI can learn the preferences of a user over time and adjust the settings on a smartphone, smart home devices, and wearables accordingly.
AI in Samsung Ecosystem:
The AI integration doesn’t stop at individual products from Samsung but rather covers the entire Samsung ecosystem. SmartThings, Samsung’s IoT-based Internet of Things platform, continues to evolve through AI-based automation of connections between devices for daily tasks. Improved Bixby, itself a virtual assistant from Samsung, means the importance of AI in connection interactions with devices.
AI for Developers In SDC24, the focus would be on preparing developers with AI-based tools and platforms. Samsung presented new APIs and SDKs that would make AI integration into an application simpler. With tools that grant developers advanced machine learning models, the company wants to speed up the development of smarter, more efficient applications.
Important Announcements at SDC24
Alongside marking its 10-year milestone, SDC24 included several other very important announcements that will be characterized by some of the most radical transformations in the future of AI-based innovations by Samsung:
Unveiled Bixby 2.0:
As part of the push for AI-based innovations, the company unveiled an enhanced and new version of its voice assistant, Bixby 2.0, with enhanced AI capabilities to allow better context understanding and more seamless integration through the Samsung ecosystem.
AI in Health and Wellness:
Along with this, the company has also showcased AI-based interventions on Samsung Health and Samsung’s wearables. “Using AI to advance fitness through AI-supported training and health tracking to create more personalized health data and insights,” it said in a statement.
