Artificial intelligence (AI) is now a thing. Many technology companies have started integrating AI into their products, and that includes LG Electronics, which rolled out its own AI development tool called DeepThinQ 1.0.
The DeepThinQ 1.0 integration introduces AI functions such as voice controls, video and sensor recognition and space and human body detection to mobile devices and home appliances.
LG products that are developed on the DeepThinQ platform educate themselves on the behavioural patterns of their owners and external environments through cloud servers. With the AI continuously learning about the usage habits, customers’ experience with the products will improve over time.
Dr I.P.Park, LG Electronics Chief Technology Officer said:
“DeepThinQ is the embodiment of our open philosophy – to provide the most powerful AI solutions to our customers via a strategy of an open platform, open partnership and open connectivity. With DeepThinQ, LG Electronics is leading the world in the development of AI and the many ways in which Life’s Good with LG smart appliances and other products.”
Here are some of the products that are built on the DeepThinQ Platform.

- Serving Robot – to deliver food and refreshments around the clock, present the tray with its built-in sliding tray to the customer for easy removal.

4) LG TVs: for OLED TVs and SUPER UHD TVs
With AI functionality embedded in their TVs, LG customers can speak directly into the remote control to enjoy all the convenient features of today’s advanced voice assistant technology. LG’s ThinQ TVs also function as smart home hubs, offering access to other smart home products such as robotic vacuum cleaners, air conditioners, air purifiers, smart lights, smart speakers and many other devices that can connect to the TV via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. And with LG’s newest α (Alpha) 9 processor powering the company’s market-leading OLED TVs, viewers will experience further improvements in what many already consider to be the best TV picture quality. LG Nano CellTM SUPER UHD TVs employ Full-Array Local Dimming (FALD) backlighting to provide deeper blacks and enhanced colours, as well as nuanced shadow details for life-like images.
