Recently, according to foreign media reports, Google held a press conference at Hannan Cave, Longshan District, Seoul on September 11. At the meeting, Google announced that it will launch two artificial intelligence speakers in Korea on September 18, namely Google Home Mini and Google. Home speakers. This move by Google represents a growing battle with Korean companies in the artificial intelligence (AI) war.
At present, Google smart speakers have multi-language recognition function, which allows users to choose two of the seven languages, such as Korean, English and Japanese. The smart speaker can automatically recognize the user's language and answer in the corresponding language. Answering speakers in English will answer them in English. If you ask questions in Korean, you will choose Korean answers. And the sound matching function can recognize up to 6 people's voices and automatically match the appropriate responses for different users.
As a technology giant, Google has long laid out the field of artificial intelligence. In 2016, Google Home and Amazon Echo, known as the originator of artificial intelligence speakers, are the two giants in the international smart speaker industry. Now that Google has developed a Korean language service, it has entered the Korean market.
For Google to enter the Korean market, Korean industry stakeholders said: 'The private competition around building partnerships will be more intense.'
Google has chosen to cooperate with local Korean companies. For example, Google Smart Speakers can control various home appliances such as LG Electronics and smart homes such as Kyungdong Water Heater and Air Purifier. In addition, Google controls voice control over more than 5,000 products from 225 partner companies worldwide. LG Electronics said: LG will launch eight air conditioners, sweeping robots, refrigerators, washing machines, air purifiers, clothing care machines, lightwave ovens, dryers and other linkage products.
