Artificial intelligence has become a hot topic in recent years, but truly understanding it remains a challenge. Recently, Google made headlines by discontinuing its AI service tool, AutoML, in favor of developing its own AI solutions for businesses and individuals. While the excitement around AI may have cooled down, smartwatches once captured the spotlight. Now, a new high-end smartwatch priced at 190,000 Swiss francs has emerged as the world's most expensive. If you're not into smartwatches, maybe you'll find Nintendo Switch’s latest peripheral intriguing. Using infrared technology, cardboard can be transformed into interactive gaming accessories.
On the other hand, Apple has been quietly advancing its AR strategy. Tim Cook has reportedly met with AR suppliers, hinting at potential future products. Meanwhile, the Apple HomePod smart speaker is already in the shipping phase, signaling that its official launch is near. What else caught attention in the smart device industry this week? Let’s take a closer look.
Event One: Google Introduces Ultra-Simple AI Service — But It Can't Replace Human Input
Google Cloud recently launched AutoML, an AI tool designed to help non-experts build machine learning models. According to the Google Cloud AI team, the tool automates model training and optimization, making AI more accessible. However, despite these advancements, experts like Li Feifei emphasized that users still need to manually input data, showing that AI is far from being fully autonomous.
Event Two: The World’s Most Expensive Smartwatch Hits the Market
Tiger Hero recently unveiled the most expensive smartwatch ever — priced at 190,000 Swiss francs. This luxury timepiece features 589 diamonds and is crafted from 18K white gold. While it's not the first high-end smartwatch, it sets a new benchmark for price and exclusivity.
Event Three: Nintendo Switch Uses Cardboard as a Peripheral
Nintendo has taken a creative approach by integrating cardboard into its Switch console. Through a product called LABO, players can assemble cardboard models that work with the console, enabling unique gameplay experiences. This innovative use of simple materials highlights the potential of low-cost, high-impact tech.
Event Four: Apple and AR Go Hand in Hand
Apple has long shown interest in augmented reality, and recent reports suggest that CEO Tim Cook is preparing for a major push. Although Apple didn’t attend CES this year, it was spotted meeting with AR suppliers, fueling speculation about upcoming hardware.
Event Five: TicPods Free — A New Wireless Headset with Voice Assistant Support
At the IF2018 Geek Park Conference, TicPods Free was officially launched. This wireless headset offers excellent noise cancellation and supports multiple voice assistants, including Siri and Google Assistant. Priced at 199 yuan, it’s a versatile and affordable option for daily use.
Event Six: Samsung Applies for “Metal 12†Trademark
Samsung has applied for the “Metal 12†trademark, which refers to magnesium alloy. This lightweight material has already been used in devices like the Notebook 9 and is expected to appear in future smartphones and wearables, offering better portability.
Event Seven: Apple HomePod Begins Shipping
According to reports, Apple’s HomePod smart speaker has started shipping, with an initial batch of one million units. While production details are still under wraps, this marks a significant step for Apple in the smart speaker market.
