SEOUL -- For Samsung Electronics, the future for many households looks something like this: A robot zips around the kitchen as it prepares dinner, knowing just what to make based on a user's preferences all the while being aware of any health conditions that their diet needs catering to.
This may seem like a glimpse into a time rather far off from now, but the South Korean company envisions this being commonplace sooner rather than later. It plans to make its home electronics artificial intelligence-enabled, creating a service that connects its wide-ranging products, from smartphones and televisions to home appliances, Kim Hyun-suk, CEO and president of consumer electronics, said in an interview with Nikkei.
