Samsung Brings 'AI for All' Vision to CES 2024: New AI Chip in 8K TVs, a Major Ballie Robot Upgrade

Las Vegas—Samsung Electronics opened its CES 2024 program on January 8 with vice chairman and DX (Device eXperience) division head Jong-Hee Han unveiling the company's "AI for All" vision, spreading super intelligence (SI) across TVs, projectors, appliances and the smart home.

The flagship Neo QLED 8K QN900D carries the new NQ8 AI Gen3 processor, with eight times the neural networks of its predecessor and an NPU running twice as fast, plus AI Motion Enhancer Pro and Active Voice Amplifier Pro. Alongside it, The Premiere 8K projector throws a 150-inch image and is billed as the world's first projector with wireless 8K transmission, while the Music Frame turns a picture frame into a speaker.

Ballie, the companion robot first shown in 2020, returned with a major upgrade: the new Ballie interacts with smart devices around the home and projects information and video onto walls, evolving, Samsung says, from a rolling ball into an SI companion that actively looks after the household.

On the smart-home side, SmartThings gains spatial awareness, with a 3D Map View due in March that renders home devices on a three-dimensional floor plan, new fall-detection alerts, and a Bixby voice assistant that coordinates wake-ups across devices. Samsung also signed a memorandum with Hyundai Motor Group linking SmartThings with cars in both Home-to-Car and Car-to-Home directions; its HARMAN unit showed the Ready Care driver monitoring and Ready Vision head-up display systems; the Knox Matrix and Knox Vault security platforms expand to more TVs and appliances; SmartThings Energy is working with Tesla on Powerwall Storm Watch alerts; and Samsung demonstrated the Relumino Together accessibility feature developed with Microsoft.
