LG, the South Korean business conglomerate, has impressed everybody with its unique insights on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI), presented at the Artificial Intelligence Summit held in New York on December 5–6. The company presented a clear picture of providing considerable insight on the current state of AI technology and its potential impacts on life, both inside and outside the workplace. LG conducted its own LG ThinQ Forum during the summit as well, triggering a lively talk and demonstrating the strength of LG ThinQ, the company’s own AI platform.
Mohammed Ansari, senior vice president and general manager of the LG Silicon Valley Lab, participated along with some global AI experts in a panel discussion titled, The Failures of AI: What is holding AI back from taking off? Realistic approaches on how to deal with some of the common pitfalls. He observed that progress in creating relevant technologies, or lack thereof, is largely determined by specific factors in each sector. He pointed to shortage of data and insufficient knowhow as key issues preventing many companies from advancing and deploying AI solutions.
He said: “Epitomizing the values of ‘Evolve, Connect, Open’, LG ThinQ products are designed to provide a more personalized experience the more they are used, offer a seamless connection for the user both throughout their homes and beyond, and are compatible with different platforms in order to meet the diverse needs and preferences of our customers, making their lives freer and easier. We hope to implement next-generation AI technologies to provide for a fully integrated digital-physical environment,” said Mohammed Ansari, senior vice president and general manager of the LG Silicon Valley Lab.
“The company’s unique strategy is what makes LG ThinQ stand out from the crowd. LG’s innovative AI solutions for the home have the potential to transform daily life for the better. It was a pleasure to be involved in the forum and help communicate the benefits that AI can offer,” added Carley Knobloch, digital lifestyle influencer.
At a time when more fiction is presented as fact about artificial intelligence, such pragmatic and hard-nosed views on AI must be well appreciated.
