LG Whisen ThinQ Is AI-Enabled Air Conditioner With Smart Sensors

Earlier this week, industry sources disclosed that Samsung and LG are planning to launch artificial intelligence-based air conditioners later this month. At a media event in Seoul, LG introduced its premium air conditioning unit that boasts of artificial intelligence capabilities. "The Whisen ThinQ air conditioner has evolved to an air conditioner that can see, hear, think and speak," Song Dae-hyun, president of home appliance & air solutions at LG, said. The 2017 model did come with sensors that gave it the ability to learn about the room where it is placed, so it could provide optimum temperature to users. With ThinQ, the 2018 model features the ability to learn about the room and analyze real time changes that are taking place inside and outside of it.
