food, with a robotic arm to organize items It also scans your smartwatch and fingerprints to recognize you, and give you personalized nutrition advice Maybe its because Im in the process of buying a home and looking to buy my
own appliances for the first time, but Dreames high-tech refrigerator with AI-powered nutrition tracking isn't just one of the best things Ive seen so far at the Dreame Next product showcase its also the most unsettling.

I'm here in San Francisco to get a glimpse at all of the smart home tech the brand is developing, and although Dreame has showed this futuristic fridge before, I'm particularly interested in the way it uses your health data. The fridge itself sounds pretty impressive, with a robotic arm that will properly sort your food into appropriate chambers, cameras that will track your foods freshness, and an AI system to help you find recipes to use items before they decay. There's also a water dispenser that can carbonate your water to serve it sparkling.

However, I'm more intrigued by the way it determines who's opening it by scanning your face, fingerprints, or smart wearables. Once it knows who you are, it can use health data from your scales, smart watch, or smart ring
plus the info on whats in your fridge to find recipes thatll help you hit your health targets. The Dreame Fridge can scan your biometrics (Image

It's all fascinating, but Im not sure I want a judgemental fridge sitting in my kitchen. Nor do I love the idea of it having my biometric information, or my health data, even if it could arguably help my eating habits.

Dreame doesnt have a price or release date for this fridge, but even as just
a concept, it does seem like the way smart home tech will evolve as brands like Dreame and Samsung promote AI-fuelled interconnectedness between our various gadgets.
