At CES 2025, the world’s leading tech manufacturers, LG and Samsung, dropped a futuristic bombshell: their newest line of smart TVs will come equipped with Microsoft Copilot AI baked right in. This isn’t just a rebranding of voice commands or a glorified search bar; we’re talking about significantly reimagined smart TVs with AI as both the brains and personality behind the screen. For Windows users and tech aficionados, this integration of AI transforms what it means to engage with your television—because let’s be honest, searching for quality binge material sometimes feels more challenging than finding files in an unorganized desktop folder.
Let’s dive into the details, lay out how this new technology works, and explore what it means for the average Windows enthusiast.
Microsoft’s Copilot, the AI assistant that has impressed Windows users with its seamless integration across productivity tools like Word, Excel, and Teams, now adds TV functionality to its repertoire. The assistant—known for contextual awareness and providing tailored suggestions—is set to power TVs in a way that allows smarter searches and content management.
In LG’s case, this means embedding Copilot in a specialized “AI Section” of their smart TVs, accessible via what they now call the “AI Remote.” Similarly, Samsung has bundled its Vision AI initiative alongside Copilot, aiming to create a cohesive experience between their TV models and smart home ecosystems.
Still, the details on how Copilot performs on television screens remain sparse as no live demonstrations were shown during CES.
2. LG’s Approach: AI Remotes and Chatbots
LG has a vision for an AI-first TV experience, complete with a renamed remote that is now all about AI commands. The center of this initiative is Copilot, touted as a “context-based” assistant that can help you dig deeper into what you’re watching. Watching a riveting historical drama and need facts about the events on screen? Copilot steps in, adding a Wikipedia-esque layer of information to your TV experience.
Additionally, LG showcased its own native AI chatbot designed for tasks beyond what Copilot provides. In essence, we might be seeing a “tag-team” style pairing of AI assistants, potentially useful for users with multifaceted demands like controlling smart home gadgets or setting up reminders.
3. Samsung’s Vision AI: Taking Smart TVs to Another Galaxy
Samsung, however, goes a step further—because what’s CES without Samsung flexing its engineering genius?
Their Vision AI platform introduces features like:
Samsung’s flagship Neo QLED 8K QN990F (what a mouthful!) steals the limelight with these luxurious updates, plus integration with the SmartThings ecosystem. This means users can monitor smart cameras, adjust home thermostats, and even keep track of their pets—all without leaving the couch.
Here are some practical ways Copilot changes the TV game:
The Obvious Connection to Microsoft: Would it even be a tech move in 2025 without deeper Microsoft ties? For Windows users, this partnership solidifies the link between tech ecosystems—you won’t need to learn new commands or styles because Copilot will feel familiar across all platforms.
Privacy and Security Considerations: With more AI-driven insights come valid concerns. How secure is Microsoft Copilot’s integration with Samsung Vision AI or LG's remote? LG’s chatbots and Samsung’s connected cameras might be treasure troves for hackers if not adequately secured.
That said, as technology trickles down, the accessibility of these AI-powered TVs will improve—turning what seems futuristic now into tomorrow’s norm. Think of it like SSD storage; only a few years ago, it was premium tech. Today, it’s a baseline feature.
For now, though, we watch and wait. Will LG’s AI Chatbots and Samsung’s pet-monitoring tools work as seamlessly as promised? Or are we looking at another set of features we’ll forget to use in six months? Whichever way the chips fall, CES 2025 is making it clear: AI is here to change how we binge-watch and beyond.

Their Vision AI platform introduces features like:
- Click-to-Search: Find information about on-screen content without pressing pause.
- Live Translate: Translate subtitles or captions in real time—a life saver for international movie buffs.
- Generative Wallpaper and Art: Not enjoying vanilla screensavers? Use Samsung’s Vision AI to build custom wallpapers that reflect your aesthetic.

How Does Copilot Enhance TV-Watching?
Let’s break down the “Copilot” charm. As many Windows 11 power users already know, Copilot leverages advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) and contextual computation engines to interpret user queries. It’s more than a smart assistant—it’s an adaptive AI that evolves the longer you use it.Here are some practical ways Copilot changes the TV game:
- Simplified Search: Let’s say you’re half-watching a recipe video on YouTube but want to find related dishes. Instead of fumbling through a browser or phone, Copilot can create connected searches for you on your TV.
- Personalized Recommendations: By analyzing your viewing habits, Copilot offers tailored show and movie suggestions—even when switching between apps like Netflix, Prime, or Disney+.
- Information Lookups: Watching a sports documentary? Ask Copilot to fetch the stats of the players in focus, and it’ll display them without pulling you completely away from the content.
A Glimpse at the Bigger Picture: The Role of AI in Home Tech
Unified AI Ecosystems: LG and Samsung aren’t just competing on visuals anymore. They’re angling to become the control hub for smart homes, whether through Copilot or Samsung’s Vision AI paired with SmartThings.The Obvious Connection to Microsoft: Would it even be a tech move in 2025 without deeper Microsoft ties? For Windows users, this partnership solidifies the link between tech ecosystems—you won’t need to learn new commands or styles because Copilot will feel familiar across all platforms.
Privacy and Security Considerations: With more AI-driven insights come valid concerns. How secure is Microsoft Copilot’s integration with Samsung Vision AI or LG's remote? LG’s chatbots and Samsung’s connected cameras might be treasure troves for hackers if not adequately secured.
How Would a Windows-Based TV Ecosystem Work?
If TV manufacturers are threading Copilot AI through screens, it’s worth considering a larger picture. Imagine a direct Windows integration—where your desktop tasks seamlessly migrate onto the television. Think:- Presentations cast directly from OneDrive to Samsung screens.
- Gaming with Xbox Cloud seamlessly working alongside AI features.
- A true “PC-TV hybrid” that becomes your entertainment and productivity solution.
Will AI TVs Become Mainstream?
Integrating high-end AI features like Copilot is thrilling, but mainstream adoption rests heavily on pricing and simplicity of interface. If these TVs are limited to LG's high-end OLED models or Samsung's $10K Neo QLED series, the “average Joe” won’t leap on them just yet.That said, as technology trickles down, the accessibility of these AI-powered TVs will improve—turning what seems futuristic now into tomorrow’s norm. Think of it like SSD storage; only a few years ago, it was premium tech. Today, it’s a baseline feature.
Final Thoughts
LG and Samsung’s entrance into AI-backed smart TVs with Microsoft Copilot is a sign that the TV is no longer just a “dumb” screen. These devices become conversational assistants, proactive companions, and even the guardians of your smart home. As a Windows user, you should be particularly excited about this trend. Why? Because the integration with Copilot hints strongly at cross-device functionality that’ll make your tech ecosystem tighter, smarter, and far more efficient.For now, though, we watch and wait. Will LG’s AI Chatbots and Samsung’s pet-monitoring tools work as seamlessly as promised? Or are we looking at another set of features we’ll forget to use in six months? Whichever way the chips fall, CES 2025 is making it clear: AI is here to change how we binge-watch and beyond.
