Samsung Electronics plans to expand its share in the U.S. home appliance market by introducing new products and services with improved connectivity and usability based on artificial intelligence (AI). Its new 2024 Bespoke products are equipped with high-performance AI chips, cameras, and sensors to enable users to experience various AI functions.

The Bespoke AI Family Hub refrigerator uses an internal camera to recognize incoming and outgoing food items, and the Bespoke AI Combo all-in-one washer and dryer detects the weight, type, and contamination level of laundry to wash and dry it optimally.
