Teachers juggle a lot in a single lesson: keeping every student following along, pulling in the right example at the right moment, and checking who actually understood the material before the bell rings. Samsung is now putting artificial intelligence into the big screen at the front of the room to take some of that load off.
The company has detailed two tools for its Android-based Interactive Displays, the touch screens many schools already use in place of a whiteboard. The first, Samsung AI Assistant, is a built-in app aimed at the lesson itself. The second, an Account Management Solution, deals with the more mundane problem of many teachers sharing one screen.

What Samsung AI Assistant does during a lesson
Samsung AI Assistant runs directly on compatible Interactive Displays and adds four features spread across a class. Live Transcript turns the teacher's speech into real-time captions on the screen, with adjustable language, font size and position. Paired with Samsung's screen sharing app, those captions can also appear on each student's own device, which helps anyone sitting far from the front or who finds spoken instruction hard to follow.
Circle to Search lets a teacher draw a circle around any image or object on the screen and pull up related images, videos and web pages without leaving the lesson, then drop the results straight onto the whiteboard. As a class wraps up, AI Quiz generates multiple-choice or true-or-false questions from the lesson transcript and any uploaded material, so the questions stay tied to what was actually taught. Students join from their phones with a QR code, and a dashboard shows completion rates, average scores and which questions tripped people up. Recorded lessons are saved automatically in a My Lessons area, with transcripts and AI-written summaries teachers can reuse.
One shared screen, many teachers
The second tool tackles a practical headache in schools where a display moves between classes. The Account Management Solution gives each teacher a secure, cloud-connected profile they reach by tapping an NFC ID card or scanning a QR code, with no password typed in front of students. Sign in on any compatible display and your own files, apps, bookmarks and wallpaper load automatically, and each workspace is encrypted so one teacher's material stays separate from the next.
Behind it sits the Samsung Education Portal, where a school's IT team registers teachers, enrols displays and links ID cards from one place. The portal also handles emergency alerts: it ties into notification platforms such as InformaCast and Raptor, so a pre-set warning can appear across every enrolled screen in a building at once.
Where this fits for Malaysian schools
Samsung Malaysia issued the details locally, though it has not confirmed pricing or a rollout timeline for these features here, and the demonstrations it shared were filmed in United States school districts. Interactive Displays already appear in a growing number of Malaysian classrooms, and Samsung has kept a steady presence in the education market: it recently backed Malaysian schools through a government foundation and named the top teams in its Solve for Tomorrow contest. AI captions and auto-generated quizzes are the kind of feature that could genuinely save a teacher time, provided the speech recognition holds up in a noisy, accented, multilingual classroom, which is the real test any of this has to pass.
Samsung has published the full feature details through its Malaysia newsroom. For teachers and IT staff, the more useful question than the feature list is whether the displays their school already owns are on the compatible list.
