LG Electronics recently launched its artificial intelligence brand, ThinQ, and is accelerating the development of artificial intelligence products and services by significantly increasing the usability and accessibility of its own artificial intelligence platform, DeepThinQ.

Recently, LG Electronics has deployed its proprietary deep learning-based artificial intelligence technology across all its organizations, making it easier to use. The platform is called "DeepThinQ 1.0."

This platform is significant in that it makes it easier to integrate AI technology into a wider range of products. Any LG Electronics developer interested in AI technology can now leverage this platform to develop AI-enabled products.

DeepThinQ 1.0 features a variety of AI functions, including voice/video/sensor recognition, space/body detection, and more, all built on data LG Electronics has accumulated since the 1990s. Supported operating systems are also expanding beyond Linux to include Android and webOS, allowing developers to utilize the platform more diversely.

DeepThinQ 1.0 also includes "data learning," a core feature of deep learning technology. Products utilizing the DeepThinQ platform can send various usage data to a cloud server and learn on their own, becoming smarter the more they are used.

Unlike general-purpose artificial intelligence technologies, DeepThink provides functions optimized for the ‘product’ used by customers and the ‘space’ in which they operate. This is also the direction of artificial intelligence technology that LG Electronics is pursuing.

Products utilizing DeepThinQ understand not only the external environment but also the customer's lifestyle. For example, if indoor air quality is poor, they may suggest turning on the air purifier. Beyond simply recommending a laundry cycle appropriate for the weather, they may recommend a dedicated exercise clothes cycle for customers who exercise frequently. And late at night, when customers rarely open the refrigerator door, the refrigerator automatically operates in energy-saving mode.

DeepThinQ also has significant applications in commercial settings. As demonstrated by LG Electronics' airport robot, technologies such as ▲removing ambient noise to improve voice recognition and ▲controlling the robot to accurately determine its location and ensure smooth operation are useful in crowded spaces.

LG Electronics Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Park Il-pyeong emphasized, “Our AI platform, DeepThinQ, has evolved based on data accumulated from AI home appliances and commercial robots,” and “Through DeepThinQ, we will present LG’s own differentiated AI products and services.”
