Chinese electronics giant Xiaomi launched a range of voice controlled artificial intelligence televisions at a product launch held in Beijing on March 21.

The Mi TV 4A series allows people change channels, check the weather forecast, and to search for movies and TV shows using voice commands when a button on the remote is pressed.

Speaking at the product launch, Xiaomi co-founder Wang Chuan, said, "TVs that follow voice commands are the future. The team at Mi TV has been researching artificial intelligence and voice interaction for the past three years."
