LG Future Talk at IFA 2019 Showcases AI-powered future homes - Digital Street

At a panel talk event to kick off IFA 2019 in Berlin, Dr. I.P. Park, president and Chief Technology Officer of LG Electronics, shared the company's vision for an AI-powered future where Anywhere is Home. Addressing the three pillars of LG's AI strategy Evolve, Connect and Open, Dr. Park and the expert guest panellists discussed how innovations in AI and connectivity will expand the notion of home to every domain of living beyond the front door. At the heart of today's discussion was the role of LG ThinQ, the company's brand for intelligent devices, which now brings together AI products and services as well as those with Wi-Fi and IoT capabilities under a unified vision for an AI-based ecosystem. To illustrate the evolution of LG ThinQ, Dr. Park introduced an intelligent learning concept, which enables robot vacuum cleaners to avoid getting stuck in corners and obstacles. Facilitating such innovations will be LG's proprietary AI chip for appliances, launched earlier this year, which uses LG Neural Engine for on-device AI.
