Courtesy of LG Electronics LAS VEGAS -- LG Electronics on Monday (local time) unveiled its vision for "AI in Action" at its annual LG World Premiere, held ahead of CES 2026, outlining how artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving from a conversational tool into an active agent that orchestrates devices, spaces and services across homes, vehicles and commercial facilities. Held under the theme of "Innovation in tune with you," the showcase highlighted LG's approach to integrating AI seamlessly into everyday life. An annual tradition on the eve of CES, the LG World Premiere serves as a platform for the company to present its latest developments and long-term strategy, reaffirming its commitment to customer-centric innovation focused on delivering practical, everyday value. The event drew more than 1,000 attendees, including global media, industry experts and partners, with thousands more joining via livestream worldwide. The strong turnout underscored LG's determination to bring AI beyond the screen and into real-world environments, signaling the next phase of innovation in smart homes, connected mobility and intelligent commercial solutions. At the core of LG's AI in Action strategy are three pillars: "Affectionate Intelligence," device excellence grounded in core technologies and a fully connected ecosystem that extends beyond the home to vehicles and commercial spaces. While earlier AI systems largely focused on responding to commands, LG said its AI is now designed to move into action by actively orchestrating devices, spaces and services to make daily life more comfortable, efficient and intuitive. The event opened with CEO Lyu Jae-cheol posing the question, "What if AI could step out of the screen and start working for us in real life?" He said LG's strength lies in its deep understanding of real homes and lifestyles, built through decades of leadership in home appliances and consumer electronics. "This is where LG has unique advantage in the AI era," Lyu said. "Our vision for the AI home is clear: to give time back to our customers." That vision is embodied in LG's "Zero Labor Home," where intelligent devices operate as a single system to manage daily tasks on behalf of users. As a physical expression of this concept, LG introduced LG CLOiD, a specialized robot equipped with two arms and five-fingered hands for use around the home. Designed for real living environments, CLOiD can fold laundry, organize dishes, retrieve clothes and adjust home appliances while maintaining stable and safe operation even around children and pets. LG demonstrated how CLOiD applies contextual awareness in everyday life, such as suggesting an indoor workout based on weather conditions and user routines, adjusting air conditioning before the user arrives home and managing household priorities to reduce both physical effort and mental load. LG envisions the robot evolving into an ambient care agent that supports everyday life in the Zero Labor Home. LG also showcased a range of AI-powered products highlighting its device excellence. These included the LG OLED evo W6, featuring the α11 AI Processor 4K Gen3, an ultra-slim design and wireless AV transmission, as well as the AI-enhanced LG Signature lineup. The Signature refrigerator uses conversational AI and ingredient recognition to offer tailored storage and recipe recommendations, while the Signature oven range features Gourmet AI to suggest recipes based on available ingredients. Beyond the home, LG emphasized that its products and AI are designed to flow seamlessly across everyday life. As Lyu noted, "AI-driven experiences should not be limited to just a single space. They should be part of a natural, continuous life journey," reflecting the company's vision to extend its Affectionate Intelligence from homes to vehicles, workplaces, and commercial spaces. Closing the event, LG emphasized that its AI in Action vision embodies the company's "Life's Good" brand promise -- a future where technology quietly supports people in meaningful ways and integrates naturally into daily life.
