“How to integrate AI capabilities with humans is important.” Joo-min Kim, head of LG Electronics Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, and Darin Graham, head of the LG Electronics Research Institute of Toronto’s Artificial Intelligence Research Institute at the AI International Forum (AIF 2019) held at The Plaza Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul on August 19, ‘AI Inside Out: LG’
The two explained the direction of using AI technology from LG Electronics. LG Electronics is currently thinking about what to do with its AI brand ‘ThinQ’. Kim said, “ThinQ always aims to create a new lifestyle with the concept of AI that puts customers first.”
Darin said, “As AI technology advances today, it is affecting many areas and will have a greater impact.” “We are already seeing the change.” The leading AI operational trend is autonomous driving, and LG Electronics is also collaborating with the University of Toronto. ” Regarding the robotics field, “Adaptive real-time systems, manufacturing, materials and chemical processing will all be done by robotics systems.”
Darin introduced an area where AI can make great progress. Healthcare was a representative example. “If you have a huge amount of data on disease detection technology, you can reach a very high level,” he said. In the banking and insurance sectors, “People are studying how AI prevent fraud , money laundering.” Darin also focused on drugs, investment, marketing and law. “With AI, you can tell a lawyer what’s available right away,” he said. He stressed the need to think about social and ethical issues. “We also have to consider whether autonomous cars will kill drivers or pedestrians while driving, and how the AI technology will get worse.”
Dain said, “It is important for AI to have high level of certainty. To build confidence, you need to gather experience and rules. The great thing about man is time. Learn to watch and listen over time. AI neural networks learn data over time with the next data. ”
Darin said that it is important for AI to recognize judgments and corrections. “The computer takes so much memory and images to determine when to fix it.” Mr. Kim said, “AI is currently in a big flow from the existing analog industry to digital.” For example, the example of a global company was given. “Rolls-Royce was a company that made airplane engines, but now it’s expanded to maintenance.” “Adidas makes innovation on shoe manufacturing with customized shoes.”
Kim said, “We have the whole technologies sets for voice intelligence. We want to apply it to robots and TVs. And all others. I want to connect the product and the information about the device.” Kim said, “Car accidents are often caused by the negligence of the other party rather than me. “We are seeing inside of cars just like home. We are expanding the robot market through various lineups such as robot cleaners and delivery. ” Kim said, “We are studying how to control efficiently and maximize the performance. We are thinking about how to reduce energy dramatically.”
As for big data, “There are thousands of servers in LG Electronics, and there is a lot of data generated by our own products.” Darin said, “AI is not smart at the moment. Humans are much better in recognition. For example, robots are good at repetitive tasks such as curling, but there is a long way to go for autonomous driving in all environments. ” Kim said, “AI is still lagging behind the human level,” he said. “It is developing very much through increased computing power, algorithms and big data.”
