CES 2024 AI Highlights ๐ค๐ฅ
1. The world’s first transparent TVs
Samsung and LG, two big tech giants, demonstrated the world’s first transparent TVs. Samsung uses micro LEDs made from non-organic compounds and doesn’t require any backlight to produce images. Meanwhile, LG uses OLED (organic light-emitting diode) technology for razor-thin displays with rich colors and blacks. Both display technologies have been used for several years but have evolved for a transparent display.

LG launched an AI smart home agent under their “Zero Labour Home” initiative. It is a two-legged robot powered by a Generative AI-powered robot trained on massive datasets of LG products. It can easily be connected with all your LG appliances such as refrigerator, oven, washing machine, etc. The robot has a face and user recognition, so its responses and communications are tailored to individual home members. A generative AI large language model powers it, so you can chat with it while you’re, say, baking a cake. Not only this, but LG also launched their Alpha 11 AI-powered processor that will generate a better image output for LG TVs by adjusting the color and other crucial parameters with the help of AI.
