Samsung (KRX:005930) announced it is adding a new generation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the upcoming Galaxy S8 phone to be released in Spring 2017. With Alexa, Cortana, Google Now and Siri as the established AI platforms for mobile, PCs and homes, Samsung looks to outdo all of them with Viv, the AI company it acquired last month.
As reported by Reuters and AP, this early announcement is in part designed to highlight a positive outlook after the Galaxy Note debacle the company went through for the past several months. Samsung said it finally figured out what caused its phones to catch on fire, but not before it discontinued the model and lost around $5.3 billion.
