LG’s CLOi Robot steals hearts at Africa electronics event


Riding waves within the AI technology recently is LG’s CLOi Robot that was launched at CES 2018. While keeping up the momentum within the AI led technology and products, LG’s CLOi Robot, which made its debut appearance at the recently concluded LG Innofest 2018 in Cape Town, South Africa, drew spurring interest from attendees with high excitement and anticipations.

Globally, LG aims to adopt next-generation technologies like AI, machine learning, big data and more in business and management practices whilst expanding collaborative efforts with other organizations. LG’s exclusive deep learning-based AI technology is in line with the company’s efforts to speed up the release of new products with the latest and most innovative technology.

LG Electronics announced the creation of ThinQ brand to identify all of its 2018 home appliances, consumer electronics and services that utilize artificial intelligence. LG ThinQ products and services will all have the ability 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, DeepThinQ.

According to a recent report by IDC, the MEA spending on cognitive and AI Systems is expected to pass USD 114 million by 2021. Gartner has also forecasted that 50 percent of all analytical interactions will be delivered via AI in the next three to five years. 

Furthermore, according to the 2017 World Economic Forum’s Global Shaper Survey, young people in the Middle East and North Africa expect the Fourth Industrial Revolution to have a significant impact on their working and daily lives, while many are comfortable about living in a future where robots work and exist alongside humans.

“The advancements in AI and robotics are expected to transform lifestyles and industries around the world, ultimately improving humankind’s experiences from reducing repetitive tasks at home or work to even eliminating age-old malignant practices which is why significant investments will be made in this area,’ said Mr. Kevin Cha, President LG Electronics Middle East & Africa. 

“We are confident that as the years progress, consumers in the region will see significant value brought to their lives by our AI enabled electronics and home appliances making it extremely fruitful for both them as well as our retail and distribution partners,” he added.

The purpose of the ThinQ brand is to highlight that LG intelligent products are always thinking of you in order to make your life better. With AI being at the next frontier in technology, LG is working towards making AI more approachable and less intimidating.
