Miele Put a Camera in Its New Dishwasher. Here’s Why

AI-powered cameras have made their way into most major kitchen appliances. Ovens now watch food as it cooks and tell you when it’s done. Smart refrigerators will ping you when you’re running low on milk or suggest recipes based on what they see lingering in the crisper drawer.
