[IFA 2026] LG, Samsung expand home appliance and AI integration... 'Artificial Intelligence Home' gamble

Translated from Korean Read in Korean

LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics showcased their vision for an "AI Home" at the IFA 2026 in Berlin, Germany, which started on the 4th. The two companies are focusing on integrating AI into home appliances and services to improve daily life, including health management and energy efficiency. LG Electronics plans to introduce an "execution-type AI agent" that can learn users' habits and suggest actions, such as turning on the air conditioner before they arrive home.

Samsung Electronics displayed its "AI Living Vision" at a separate IFA exhibition hall, featuring a 2026 TV with "Vision AI Companion" that can answer user questions in real-time.
