Summary
Samsung's Galaxy AI is evolving from a reactive assistant to a proactive system on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Instead of requiring users to manually trigger features, the new Galaxy AI anticipates needs and takes action automatically. The article highlights how Samsung is shifting toward AI that works in the background, learning user habits and performing tasks like optimizing settings, managing notifications, and suggesting actions without explicit commands. This marks a significant departure from the approach seen in the Galaxy S24 series.
