Samsung’s responsible use of AI

Samsung announce This week, our Home Appliances division received ISO/IEC 42001 certification. This certification applies to companies that are concerned with responsible procedures, AI-related risk management, and ethical issues when developing and delivering AI-based services and products.

Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life: More than just washers and dryers

Samsung uses AI systems in washers, dryers, dishwashers, robotic vacuum cleaners, and many other SmartThings-based home appliances and services. All of these products and services have previously obtained AI+ and/or AI reliability certifications.

Now, at least according to the Korean Standardization Association, Samsung has proven that its home devices use AI systems responsibly and ethically without compromising user data. The company uses AI not only when launching a product, but responsibly throughout the entire product life cycle.

Safety and fairness are priorities

According to Samsung, the association evaluated the company’s use of AI for security, fairness, transparency, data reliability, and careful management of its AI systems throughout the lifecycle of its home appliances, from planning and development to mass production and disposal.

With this certification, customers can be confident that their AI appliances — whether it’s a washing machine or a SmartThings appliance — have been designed and operated responsibly and ethically. You don’t have to worry that your AI washer or SmartThings machine will give you problems.
