In Canada, LG Corporation launches artificial intelligence research lab. It will be an addition to the newly expanded LG Silicon Valley AI Lab in Santa Clara (California, USA). With the opening of a laboratory in North America, LG Group intends to strengthen its global infrastructure for artificial intelligence research, including centers in South Korea, India and Russia. As a result, they will more effectively realize their dream of using artificial intelligence as a driving force for future development.
In addition, LG promotes research cooperation with the University of Toronto (Canada), which is highly appreciated in the world for its achievements in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning, especially deep learning.
“Artificial intelligence greatly affects everyone’s life, changing lifestyles, ways of completing work and using free time. The first applications of artificial intelligence in Internet-connected devices pave the way for technologies that in the future will become the basis of smart cities, homes, companies… ability that no one expected” – Dr. I.P. Park – Chief Technology Officer of LG, said.
Park also affirmed that laboratories in North America and collaborative work with the University in Toronto play an important role in developing technology that will enable the aforementioned scenario to be realized.
Thanks to the contract with the University of Toronto (expected to last for 5 years), LG Group will expand the artificial intelligence ecosystem, implementing the Open Partnership, Open Infrastructure and Open Links strategy. University of Toronto scientists will share experiences and collaborate with LG’s development teams in the US and Canada. To complement this activity, LG Group also intends to partner with North American startups and invest in them.
“Our scientists are constantly doing research on the development of artificial intelligence. Therefore, the University of Toronto wishes to cooperate with a globally advanced company like LG. The presence of such international partners in our patent ecosystem will expand the possibilities of researchers, students and startups,” said Professor Meric Gertler, President of the University of Toronto. .
In line with Professor Gertler, Dr. I.P. “Solutions based on artificial intelligence and using deep learning have profoundly changed the way we interact with the world around us, because they help us use data from biometric systems or from activities that recognize emotions, gestures and, of course, voice.”
