What is Ambient Intelligence?

Philips has a vision. We believe that, in the year 2020, people will relate to electronics in more natural and comfortable ways as we do now.

We believe that current inventions, by Philips and others, will make electronics 'smart'. Technological breakthroughs will also allow us to integrate 'smart electronics' into more friendly environments.

This is our vision of 'Ambient Intelligence': people living easily in digital environments in which the electronics are sensitive to people's needs, personalized to their requirements, anticipatory of their behavior and responsive to their presence.
