Samsung Electronics : takes on Google, Apple in AI 4-Traders

Samsung Electronics is taking on Google and Apple to grab the lion's share in the highly potential artificial intelligence (AI) industry. The Seoul-based tech behemoth confirmed this week that its upcoming flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S8, would be equipped with its new AI assistant, Bixby. Samsung is a latecomer in the AI industry, compared with its handset rivals such as Apple and Google. Google, for its part, is also seeking to expand its AI presence, backed by its dominant Android mobile operating system (OS), allowing Nougat 7.0 users to access its AI service, Google Assistant. Samsung, though, remains confident about its success in AI, largely due to its global influence as the world's largest consumer electronics manufacturer.
