The electronics giant said that the AI technology applied to its upgradable appliance laundry solutions received UL’s AI Algorithm Reproducibility Process Verification.
The AI technology in LG’s washing machines uses deep learning to detect the types of fabrics being washed, or dried, and select the optimal cycle and settings for each load.
LG said that it is the first AI solution used in a laundry appliance to be validated by UL.
The technology was put through a comprehensive assessment to verify its abilities, with UL measuring several criteria such as the suitability of the ‘learning’ data used by LG and the performance of its algorithm in actual usage.
It is not the first time the technology has received a certification award. LG’s AI technology has also been recognized by the Korea Testing Laboratory (AI safety certification) and the Korean Standards Association (AI+ certification).
“Being the first in the industry to have our cutting-edge AI technology validated by UL is a testament to our leadership in the global home appliance market,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance and Air Solution Company.
“LG will continue to take the customer experience to new heights, and make daily life easier, with innovative home appliances leveraging our latest AI and unique laundry technologies.”
