After the acquisition of Harman, Samsung has started working on an AI smart speaker that is expected to be powered by Bixby. According to Dinesh Paliwal, CEO of Harman International, the speaker would be better than Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.
Samsung is definitely determined to invest more effort into Bixby, its new voice assistant, but it will take some time before it becomes more competitive.
“A significant level of joint research and development of the device is underway,” Paliwal told The Korea Herald.
“The Samsung speaker will have a better AI platform than Google Assistant and Amazon’s Alexa. What we are going to launch will be a whole new ecosystem,” he said. “It will be a platform that will be able to connect all devices and home appliances.”
