Artificial intelligence is advancing at a rapid pace, and its growing role in everyday life is on full display at this year's IFA in Berlin, the world's largest consumer electronics and home appliances trade fair.
Under the theme "The Future is Now," the event showcases how emerging technologies are reshaping daily life, from mobility to the increased use of AI in devices and services, with more than 1,900 brands from 49 countries represented at IFA 2026.
Nowhere is this transformation more visible than in the home. The industry is increasingly looking beyond the "smart home" towards what it describes as the "intelligent home" where technology does more than simply respond to commands, learning, adapting to and anticipating people's needs.
With IFA opening its doors to the public today, Euronews took a closer look at some of the innovations on display to explore one key question: What could the home of the future look like?
A simpler everyday life?
