You’ve seen AI beat humans at chess, heard it write essays, edit videos, and plan trips. But what if your AI actually understood you emotionally, not just automation but affection? That is exactly what LG is planning to do.
But how does LG make empathy something that you can install? LG is aiming for this with its new vision: Affectionate Intelligence. This is not about humans adapting to tech; it is about technology adapting to us.
Why Affectionate Intelligence?
So this vision that LG is looking towards is that every device, from TVs to washers, are built with empathy in mind. They don’t just respond, they adapt, and most importantly, they also learn.
But the question is, are we ready for AI in our homes? Well, it turns out a lot of people are already using it, and I’m sure you are too. From using AI chatbots for research to voice controlling things at your home, AI has already become a part of our daily lives.
But here’s the thing: most people confuse smart with truly intelligent. So LG is bridging that gap because while smart homes just respond to commands, LG AI learns your habits, anticipates your needs, and adapts.
The TV That Knows You
Let’s start off with something that we use daily: our TVs. With LG’s new OLED evo AI TV G5 with the Alpha 11 AI Processor Gen2, this isn’t just a screen; it’s a personal cinema assistant.
With this, you get the AI Picture Wizard that auto adjusts visuals, the AI Sound Wizard that turns your living room into a concert hall or a cinema where it understands what you’re watching and adjusts the audio mix in real time, which results in a clearer voice and also richer bass.
Then there’s also the AI Concierge to help you discover content that you actually like and even a voice ID system that knows who in your family is speaking. So no more blaming your dad or your mom for messing up with the Netflix algorithm anymore.
With the new redesign of the AI Magic Remote, it is still very much magic where it has all the controls literally in your hands.
Plus, it’s also Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos ready, and yes, gaming ready too.
Then there’s also the LG StanbyME 2, which is a touchscreen, which is also a smart screen with a built-in battery. So yeah, imagine a TV without a power outlet since it can be wireless, which is perfect for any room or even using it outdoors.
Speaking of being wireless, this Zero Connect Box also makes things easier with a setup being clutter-free and wire-free from the box to your TV.
Eco + Smart Cooling
Another thing that is super relatable, especially for us here in Malaysia, is managing this crazy heat and the humidity levels. Gone are the days that air conditioners are being perceived as power hungry monsters that raise your electricity bills.
With LG’s AI Air Solutions, your AC adjusts to the airflow automatically: direct when you’re active or need cooling really fast, or gives you a soft breeze or indirect when you’re resting or don’t want cold air hitting on your face while you’re working or sleeping.
It smartly switches the airflow based on the room conditions. So no more standing right in front of your air con and pressing and adjusting the AC every 5 minutes.
Plus, it even learns your sleep pattern using the Sleep Timer+ and preps for the perfect temperature for your bedtime so you wake up refreshed, not freezing or feeling really hot.
But the best part is that if your window is open, it even detects that too. So no more cooling the whole neighborhood when you accidentally left your window or your balcony door open.
On top of that is also the AI kW Manager built into the LG ThinQ app, so it helps you to set power goals, monitors usage, and adjusts in real time to save you money.
Appliances That Learn, Not Just Run
But LG is not leaving behind their home appliances. Their new WashTower™ uses AI Direct Drive 2.0 with deep learning where it auto detects the load size, soil levels, fabric types, and decides suitable washing patterns.
With a new ezDispense feature, it even pre-measures your detergent for up to 31 cycles. So that is 31 times that you don’t have to guess and ask yourself, “Uh, enough soap?”
For pet lovers, the 20/10kg Washer Dryer includes the pet care cycle that reduces 99% of pet odors and stains. This is something that I really need because of my cat Luna.
Then there’s also the LG TrueSteam™ Styler, which is a vertical closet that steams your clothes, reduces odors, shakes out fine dust, and even comes with a built-in hand steamer to reduce stubborn wrinkles. So you basically got a walk-in dry cleaner at home.
The Kitchen That Grooves
Remember the InstaView™ fridge where you knock it to see inside? It has a new MoodUP™ feature with over 174,000 light color combinations to match your vibe. So yes, your fridge can set the mood and throw parties better than most people!
On top of that, you can even add custom ice shapes and with the FRESH Converter+™, temperatures that could be set by food type with appropriate settings for meat, fish, and even vegetables as well. All in all, it even lets you clean the fridge without unplugging.
Then the LG NeoChef™ microwave oven isn’t just a microwave; it uses a smart inverter technology to cook, defrost, and even ferment yogurt evenly.
Speaking of the InstaView earlier, there’s also the LG InstaView™ built-in for a full steam oven where you can knock it twice to check on your food.
Then there’s also the new LG Puricare™ ATOM-U Water Purifier that is placed underneath your sink, not on top, so it does save space and gives you tankless clean water with a 4-Stage All-Puri Filter System where it even sterilizes itself with UV.
And yes, you can even monitor everything on the LG ThinQ app.
AI That Cleans Smarter
But how about cleaning? Well, vacuuming is also getting a glow-up because the LG CordZero™ Robot Vacuum not only auto detects surfaces but it also cleans, drains, and even dries itself without any human contact. Yep, you don’t even need to touch it.
It also maps your home with a LiDAR sensor, just like a self-driving car. So LG is definitely making it so smart that it feels like it’s saying, “I’ve got this, you go and rest.”
Meanwhile, the LG CordZero™ All-In-One Tower has features like auto empty, and has hassle free, all-in-one storage. Together with the dual powerpack with longer uninterrupted cleaning, which means that it will keep your space spotless without any effort at all.
Final Thoughts
Throughout this convention, LG has made it very clear that innovation is no longer about more specs; it’s more about understanding. From laundry and living rooms to even your kids’ room, LG is shaping a world where tech isn’t just a part of your home, it’s part of your life!
