Samsung is set to boost Bixby's capabilities with generative AI, according to a recent interview with a high-ranking Samsung executive. This move aims to redefine Bixby's role within the Samsung ecosystem.

“With the emergence of generative AI and LLM (large language model) technology, I believe that we have to redefine the role of the Bixby so that Bixby could be equipped with Generative AI and become more smarter in the future,” Won-Joon Choi, executive vice president of Samsung’s mobile business, told the media outlet.

Samsung brings AI features to its Galaxy Buds

We all know the AI features available on the new Samsung Galaxy S24 phones. The company plans to bring some of these to its Galaxy Buds features. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, Galaxy Buds 2, and Galaxy Buds FE are getting access to Live Translation and Interpretation through an over-the-air update it's rolling out now. This feature lets you get real-time conversation translation without looking at your phone. And these features work without the internet. You need to download the language packs you need. 

The downside of this feature is it's only available to Galaxy Buds connected to S24 phones. But with Samsung rolling out Galaxy AI to some of its older devices, you'll gain access to them there.

Samsung recently unveiled its highly-anticipated Galaxy S24 series, showcasing a range of cutting-edge AI-powered features. The new devices promise an immersive and advanced user experience, but what about existing Samsung users, especially those wielding the Galaxy S22 series?

During a conversation with TechRadar after the Galaxy Unpacked 2024 event, Patrick Chomet, Samsung's head of Customer Experience, shed light on the future of Galaxy AI compatibility for older devices. While the Galaxy S23, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Z Flip 5 are slated to receive Galaxy AI upgrades within the first half of the year, the fate of the Galaxy S22 line remains uncertain.

Galaxy AI: Free now, but not forever?

Galaxy AI has arrived, as Samsung has announced with much fanfare, but the company omitted a small detail from its presentation earlier this week: it might not be free forever. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, S24 Plus, and S24 all boast new AI features—from translating phone conversations to removing objects from photos. They'll also be available on many older phones. However, Android Central noticed the fine print on Samsung's site, suggesting they might charge for them in the future. And that might be hard to justify.

The footnote at the bottom of the Galaxy S24 Ultra product page is ambiguous but implies that Samsung could start charging later. It reads: "Galaxy AI features will be provided for free until the end of 2025 on supported Samsung Galaxy devices. Different terms may apply for AI features provided by third parties."
