Interviewed by Matt Britton, founder and CEO of Suzy for Adweek's Speed of Culture podcast about how improvements in AI are making the smart home vision come true.
The smart home promise has always been convenience, automation, and personalization, but for years, consumers have struggled with fragmented ecosystems and clunky user experiences.
On this episode of The Speed of Culture podcast, Mark Benson, head of SmartThings at Samsung Electronics, breaks down the next wave of AI-driven smart home innovation.
From seamless device interoperability to AI-powered automation and SmartThings Pro’s expansion into enterprise, Mark shares how Samsung is transforming the way people interact with their homes, cars, and workplaces.
“The biggest thing that I spend my time on is the same thing that has motivated me to even get into IoT [internet of things] and even in this career myself, which is the driving passion to simplify technology, to enable meaningful connected experiences for users,” he says on the podcast. “And that drives me.”
