Report: Samsung working on its own digital assistant

A Samsung logo is displayed in a mall beneath the company's headquarters in the Gangnam district of Seoul on October 12, 2016. Samsung Electronics slashed its third-quarter profit estimate by 33.3 percent, citing fallout from the recall nightmare surrounding its scrapped Galaxy Note 7 smartphone. It appears Samsung is ready to enter the battle of the personal digital assistants. According to Reuters, Samsung is planning to release its own AI assistant for its Galaxy S8 smartphone, which the electronics giant will likely reveal next year. The assistant would incorporate technology from Viv Labs, a company run by the co-creator of Apple's Siri and acquired by Samsung in October.
