Samsung Electronics introduced its transformative 'Companion to AI Living' vision at CES 2026, signaling a significant shift towards integrating artificial intelligence deeply into everyday consumer experiences. The company emphasized AI's role as a true companion, streamlining daily life across various product categories, including advanced displays, smart home appliances, and proactive health solutions. Key innovations highlighted during the event included a comprehensive AI TV lineup, featuring the 130-inch Micro RGB TV with Micro RGB AI Engine Pro, alongside the Vision AI Companion (VAC) designed for personalized entertainment, dining, and mood management. Samsung's SmartThings platform is at the core of this interconnected ecosystem, now serving 430 million users globally. It powers a suite of AI-enabled home appliances, such as Family Hub refrigerators with AI Vision for food tracking and recipe suggestions, and AI-enabled laundry combos, AirDressers, and Jet Bot Stream Ultra vacuums that automate household tasks. Beyond convenience, Samsung also unveiled its 'Care Companion' approach, extending AI into personalized health guidance for exercise, sleep, and nutrition, with wearables capable of detecting early signs of cognitive decline, along with a pet care system. Security is a priority, with Samsung Knox and Knox Matrix safeguarding user data across the entire ecosystem. This global announcement holds particular relevance for the Indian audience, as Samsung has expressed a 'positive and bright' business outlook for India in 2026. The company plans to heavily invest in its AI ecosystem through R&D centers in India, which are actively contributing to Samsung's global product development. Samsung's commitment to embedding AI across all products and categories, coupled with its focus on premiumization and growing consumer spending in India, positions the country as a crucial market for the adoption of these AI-driven home companions.
