Samsung will unveil new phones this week, touted as the most advanced AI-driven phones yet. This announcement follows the trend of integrating ChatGPT-like features in devices, as seen at CES 2024. The focus is on how AI can enhance mobile devices, a concept not fully realized yet. Current technology limitations mean large AI models like ChatGPT aren’t natively run on phones. For instance, Google’s Pixel 8 Pro can run some AI models on-device, but its capabilities are still emerging, with features like AI-assisted transcript summarization and video enhancements.

Google’s AI chatbot, Bard, introduced with the Pixel, is gaining capabilities and might be involved in Samsung’s upcoming announcement. This raises questions about Google’s Bixby and the potential collaboration between Google and Samsung in the AI space.

An interesting development in AI for mobile devices is the Rabbit R1, a device that has sold over $8M in a few weeks and is designed to act as an AI assistant for phones, handling tasks like booking flights or ordering pizza. Its popularity, demonstrated by rapid pre-orders, suggests a strong consumer interest in using AI to simplify phone interactions.

The upcoming Galaxy S24 launch is anticipated to reveal whether Samsung will integrate these advanced AI capabilities, transforming them from mere tech demos to practical, everyday functionalities.
