LG ThinQ launched for AI initiatives; AI products will be showcased at CES 2018

LG Electronics has announced the creation of the ThinQ brand to identify all of its 2018 home appliances, consumer electronics and services that will use artificial intelligence. LG ThinQ products and services will be able to employ deep learning and communicate with one another, utilizing a variety of AI technologies from other partners as well as LG's own AI technology called DeepThinQ.

LG laid the foundation for the AI efforts at CES 2017 when it announced DeepThinQ followed by the initiative to include Wi-Fi in all of its premium appliances launched this year. In June, LG opened the Artificial Intelligence Lab in Seoul under the company's CTO to tie together all its diverse AI research in technologies that can recognize, deduce and learn from voice, video and sensors.

LG's AI Lab has contributed to the development of the world's first space-learning air conditioner as well as intelligent refrigerators, washing machines and robot vacuum cleaners.
