Saudi Arabia steps up AI governance and national capacity building
Saudi Data and AI Authority chief says Kingdom is advancing AI governance and expanding national talent through new initiatives and global partnerships.
LG Electronics has inaugurated its inaugural business-to-business showcase for AI-integrated home technology in the Middle East, situated in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This move signifies the company's strategy to broaden its reach in the Global South. The exhibition, situated within an LG brand store in Riyadh, is ingeniously designed to resemble a fully furnished high-end residence.
Central to the exhibition are premium appliances and furniture, custom-made to cater to local preferences. These include ovens, range hoods, refrigerators, and other home essentials, all integrated with LG's ThinQ ON AI home hub.
ThinQ ON is a cutting-edge platform that enables users to control various appliances and connected devices through voice commands powered by generative AI. The showcase also highlights the compatibility of ThinQ ON with Homey Pro, a widely-used smart home platform across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. This interoperability allows for a seamless integration of an array of third-party devices into a unified smart home system.
The exhibition is primarily targeted towards construction firms, real estate developers, and hospitality entities. These businesses are potential adopters of LG's technology for large-scale residential or commercial projects.
