Panasonic to co-develop next-generation smart home and security solutions with Google, combining IoT devices with Google generative AI (report)
What happened
Japanese electronics company Panasonic will jointly develop next-generation smart home and security solutions with Google. The approach combines Panasonic IoT devices such as video intercoms and monitoring cameras with Google's generative AI and cloud services. Electronic Times (Etnews) said partnerships between appliance makers and Big Tech are accelerating, citing the collaboration between LG Electronics and Apple as another example.
Why it matters
Appliance makers are choosing to partner with Big Tech models rather than develop their own AI. Competition for leadership in the smart home is turning into a contest of partnerships among Big Tech companies.
