| Planned for application in various AI products, including robot vacuum cleaners, washing machines, refrigerators, and air conditioners… LG Electronics CTO Park Il-pyeong said, "Internalizing core AI components provides powerful momentum for us to lead in AI."

LG Electronics announced on the 16th that it has developed an AI chip that can be used universally in various products such as robot vacuum cleaners, washing machines, refrigerators, and air conditioners.

The newly developed AI chip features an improved processing performance of deep learning algorithms by embedding the 'LG Neural Engine', an AI processor that mimics the human brain neural network.

AI chips integrate ‘image intelligence’ that recognizes and distinguishes space, location, objects, and users, ‘voice intelligence’ that recognizes the characteristics of a user’s voice or noise, and ‘product intelligence’ that detects physical and chemical changes to enhance the product’s original function.

By comprehensively processing and learning video and audio data, it is possible to enhance the recognition of users' emotions and behaviors, judge situations, and implement customized AI services.

Products that use AI chips are on-device A that can learn and reason on their own.I can implement I.

It can perform AI functions even when the network is not connected, and safely protects personal data within the product.

LG Electronics' AI chip not only protects personal information by applying a powerful security engine, but also provides solutions to block external hacking.

Tasks that do not require security are run in the general area, and tasks that require security are run in an independent security area implemented in hardware to protect important information.

In addition, LG Electronics' AI chip is equipped with various functions that can enhance AI's recognition performance. It supports ▲an "image processing" function that corrects distortion from wide-angle lenses and produces bright, clear images even in dark places, and ▲a "spatial recognition engine" for faster and more precise "3D spatial recognition and map generation (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping; SLAM)."

LG Electronics plans to sequentially launch robot vacuum cleaners, washing machines, refrigerators, and air conditioners equipped with AI chips. It also plans to expand AI-powered solutions through collaborations with external partners, including companies, universities, and research institutes.

LG Electronics CTO Park Il-pyeong said, “LG Electronics AI chip is designed to provide optimized AI solutions,” and “This will further strengthen the three goals of LG Electronics AI, ‘LG ThinQ,’ which are evolution, connection, and openness, and provide customers with new experiences for a better life.”
