Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, and the general public may not know that the products they use have built-in related functions. AI not only changes the way products work, but also greatly improves the user experience. Compared with traditional products without AI, new smart products now have significant advantages in many aspects, especially in convenience, personalization and efficiency.

AI technology has penetrated into all kinds of consumer electronics products, from smart home devices, wearable devices to smartphones, and these products have become more user-friendly due to the use of AI. For example, smart homes can control the lighting and temperature of the home through voice commands, and even manage home appliances.

In terms of personal health management, wearable devices such as smart watches and fitness trackers use AI technology to monitor users’ health data, including heart rate, number of steps, sleep quality, etc., and provide personalized health advice based on these data, actively analyze the user’s physical condition and make reminders.

Consumer electronics with built-in AI can enhance the user experience, have the ability to self-learn and adapt, and can adjust themselves according to the user’s usage habits. For example, AI-driven smart temperature controllers can learn users’ daily temperature adjustment habits and automatically adjust the indoor temperature based on predictions, which can save energy and make users live more comfortable. AI makes home appliances more intelligent and proactively provides personalized suggestions and services. For example, smart refrigerators use AI to identify food in the refrigerator and recommend recipes based on users’ eating habits and health conditions. When food is about to run out, they will notify in advance and automatically order online, saving users time and improving their quality of life.

In addition, AI technology enhances product safety and stability. Through AI’s predictive maintenance function, consumer electronics products can proactively detect and prevent potential failures, thereby extending product life and reducing the frequency and cost of repairs. AI-driven products are more reliable and durable than traditional products.

With the continuous development of AI technology, consumer electronics products can more accurately understand user needs and proactively provide services and suggestions. It is worth noting that Apple will also add its own AI function Apple Intelligence to iOS 18. This AI combines functions such as text generation, priority notifications, and smart replies. It can also generate pictures based on text descriptions and ideas in the application, or use AI to enhance the practicality of the voice assistant Siri.
