In recent years, the concept of artificial intelligence (AI) has gained tremendous momentum. Every traditional home appliance now strives to add "intelligence" to its product line, painting a vivid picture of a smart lifestyle. However, the current quality standards for intelligent products are inconsistent, and there is little interoperability between devices. This often leads to a complicated user experience, where the so-called "smart" features end up making life more confusing rather than simpler.
Faced with this chaotic landscape in the tech market, many people are beginning to question: what is the true essence of artificial intelligence? Recently, three scholars from the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed a classification system that divides AI into seven levels. According to their research, lower-level AI systems can interact with human users, while more advanced systems, like AlphaGo, fall into the third level. Although AlphaGo is impressive, it still lacks the ability to share knowledge or communicate with other AI systems online—something that would be required for the fourth level.
At the highest level, AI systems possess the ability to continuously innovate and create new knowledge. Their input/output capabilities, mastery of knowledge, and application skills become nearly limitless, reaching a state of “all-powerful knowledge.†When machines achieve this level of intelligence, humans may come closer to divine-like abilities, and future homes could return to a simpler, more intuitive living experience. True intelligence should focus on home automation, centered around the user, and aim to simplify life rather than complicate it further.
Looking at the current status of AI in the smart home sector, many traditional appliance manufacturers are rushing to adopt smart technologies, hoping to capture the growing market. However, the overall performance remains underwhelming, with most products still in the early stages of development, often labeled as “future spending†rather than practical solutions.
According to reports, the potential market size for smart homes in China is estimated at 5.8 trillion yuan, indicating significant growth potential. The smart home market reached $4.6 billion in 2014 and is expected to grow rapidly, reaching $22.5 billion by 2018. Despite the promising outlook, the market is still in its infancy, with low adoption rates and slow progress due to high prices and limited functionality.
Many companies are still in the early stages of AI integration, and some are engaging in speculative marketing, creating pseudo-intelligent products that fail to meet user expectations. This not only misleads consumers but also harms the industry's long-term development.
The AI TV trend is a prime example of this phenomenon. As the color TV market becomes increasingly saturated, manufacturers have turned to AI as a way to differentiate themselves. In 2017, several major brands launched AI-enabled TVs, each claiming to offer voice control, smart recommendations, and home automation. However, these features are often basic and lack real depth. Most AI TVs still require complex navigation through multiple menus, which undermines the very idea of convenience.
While AI holds great promise for the future of television, the current wave of AI TVs is more about marketing than genuine innovation. Many of these products are essentially smartphones in disguise, with limited ecosystem support and no unique value proposition. As a result, the user experience remains subpar, and the concept of AI in TVs is still far from being fully realized.
For consumers, it’s important to approach these products with caution. Rather than being swayed by buzzwords, they should focus on actual usability and real benefits. Whether or not a TV is truly AI-powered, its ability to enhance daily life should be the ultimate measure of success.
