Artificial Intelligence, commonly abbreviated as AI, has become one of the most talked-about terms in recent years. As a subfield of computer science, AI aims to understand the essence of intelligence and develop intelligent machines capable of responding in ways similar to human intelligence. Its research areas include robotics, language recognition, image recognition, natural language processing, and expert systems.
Today, many television manufacturers are promoting "artificial intelligence TVs." However, from the perspective of current AI TVs on the market, their primary function still revolves around intelligent voice features. These typically involve speech recognition, semantic understanding, and scene coverage.
So, is AI voice truly intelligent or just pseudo-smart? To find out, Wanwei Home Network tested several representative smart TVs, including Haier, Microwhale, PPTV, Changhong, LeTV, and Thunderbird. The tests focused on dialect recognition, accuracy, speed, recognition methods, and resilience.
In the first test, the ability of AI TVs to recognize regional dialects was evaluated. While Mandarin is widely spoken, many people still use local dialects, which can be a challenge for AI voice systems. Only the Microwhale TV supported dialect recognition, while others failed to identify them. This highlights the need for further development in this area.
Next, the accuracy of voice recognition was tested using three levels of difficulty: simple commands like "Hello," more complex instructions such as "I want to watch Chu Qiao Biography," and even specific song requests like "I want to hear Lin Junjie's 'Jiangnan.'" The results showed that while most TVs could handle basic commands, they struggled with more nuanced requests. For example, some TVs could not play songs directly, while others misinterpreted the intent.
Speed was another key factor. Most TVs responded within 1-3 seconds, making the process efficient. However, Changhong and Thunderbird took longer, showing that there's room for improvement in response time.
The adaptability of AI voice systems was also tested. When different phrasings were used, such as "Look for Andy Lau's films" versus "What are the films of Andy Lau?" most TVs had limited success. This suggests that AI still struggles with understanding variations in user input.
Despite these limitations, smart TVs have made significant progress in voice recognition. They support basic functions like searching and switching channels, and some even allow control via mobile apps. However, true intelligence—understanding context, adapting to different speaking styles, and handling ambiguous queries—remains a challenge.
For those interested in more in-depth evaluations of semantic understanding and scene coverage, keep an eye on Smart TV Information Network, a leading platform for smart TV and box information in China. It offers comprehensive resources, updates, and insights into the latest developments in smart home technology.
