Tuya, a company backed by Chinese tech giant Tencent Holdings, has also incorporated AIGC technology into its new home development platform to help programmers write code faster and speed up the process of developing smart devices for customers.
However, Chen noted that services like ChatGPT are still in the early stages of development with a lot of regulatory uncertainty and so the company will only be exploring initial opportunities.
Tuya's new platform, which applies the new Matter protocol to IoT devices, aims to connect devices across different brands and standards like Apple HomeKit and Amazon Alexa, allowing them to work seamlessly together.
The rise of AIGC, the technology behind OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot service, has taken the tech world by storm with its promises to improve productivity and human-machine interactions.
Artificial intelligence has been a major trend in the smart home industry as it helps devices communicate with each other and learn about human habits better to provide personalized recommendations and experiences to homeowners.
Li Yiming, director of Amazon's cloud division, said that the application of AI in smart devices will move in the direction of environment, in which home appliances will be able to perceive changes in the environment and eventually make proactive decisions.
Major tech companies including Amazon and Google are reportedly working to incorporate ChatGPT-like services into their home gadgets. Amazon, for example, is developing a large language model for Alexa, its smart home speaker device.
For users, AI will be able to simplify the process of setting up smart home automation devices, said David Lin Ta-wei, head of Google's smart home technology division in the Asia- Pacific region.
