A member of her Samsung and an award-winning director tweeted about a new "artificial intelligenceComing from the electronics maker in the coming weeks.
Η Samsung is preparing an "artificial intelligence existence" that could become your best friend: It will debut at CES, award-winning director Shekhar Kapur said on Twitter today.
The project, called Neon, comes from Samsung STAR Labs, part of the large electronics maker skunkworks.
What SiFi movies have just started exploring, the Indian born scientist @pranavmistry is bringing soon to your home. An Artificial Intelligence being as your best friend? Come see us at #CES2020 at the #NEON corner. @neondotlife https://t.co/z1fPDfUtZl

Labs STAR chief Pranav Mistry has been making vague tweets about NEON since December 16, leaving Kapur filling the gaps. "Finally, an artificial intelligence that will make you wonder which one of you is real," Kapur said on Twitter on December 17. Since then, Neon's website has been tweeting pictures of attractive models with the tag 'Have you ever met an Artificial'? The font used by the company is reminiscent of many labels from the AMC show "Humans", which was about androids.

Neon's site it does not give us much information, it just shows the label and logo on a wave of swirling colors. The project has also posted seven completely non-informative teaser videos on Instagram, such as the following:
Facebook says three pages are related to Neon's work: Mistry's page, a beatmaker called Time Future Beats, and Eone, which makes high-end watches that can be used by the blind.
Samsung's research division has done a great deal of work with AI, with a website showcasing the company's work "to provide cutting-edge AI-platform technologies - human-level, with the ability to speak, recognize and think - to provide new experiences and values for its customers. ” At the center of the AI panel on this research page is a logo of Bixby, Samsung's voice assistant.
When high data speeds and low 5G delays prevail, local processing on devices will become much less important. We will be surrounded by "thin" devices based on "clouds", which simply make a lot of requests to servers. Many will be without a screen or keyboard, making voice interfaces a natural way of dealing with the 5G world.
The high capabilities of cloud computing systems will produce high quality voice recognition. For now we see a slight battle between voice assistants, but it will get really interesting next year, when 5G will be a fact.
Neon could be an evolution of Bixby, but it's more likely to be a concept product that shows the depth of Samsung's AI research. We will see more at CES, from January 7th.
