The world’s largest consumer electronics and home appliances show is kicking off this week in Berlin. There’ll be an avalanche of new gadgets, laptops, smartphones, smart appliances, and robot vacuums, all liberally sprinkled with generative AI.
I’m a sucker for the smart kitchen. Build me a kitchen that can tell me what to cook, when to cook, how to cook it, and do the boring bits for me, then clean it all up afterward, and I’ll be a happy tech reviewer. For years, this has seemed totally out of reach. Appliance makers have stuck Wi-Fi chips in everything but have barely done anything to make those appliances smart.
Many companies seem to think generative AI could help provide the connective tissue the smart home needs, one that can interpret what we want to do and have our appliances do it for us. Of course, IFA, which is celebrating its centennial this year, is not just about smart appliances. IFA is a huge consumer electronics show; it’s essentially Europe’s version of CES but with smaller TVs and fewer cars and tractors.
