LG announced a new structured framework for the development of AI across the industry at CES 2020 this week. The framework will consist of four levels.
Efficiency is the first level in which AI automatically adjusts performance in relation to pre-established sensory input parameters. Next is personalization, which focuses on pattern learning to optimize and personalize device functions. Third, reasoning furthers AI that uses causality learning through collective intelligence throughout the system.
The fourth level, exploration is still in the future, but through a concept called experimental learning based on the scientific method, AI-enabled systems will be able to develop new capabilities through forming and testing hypotheses to uncover new inferences, enabling them to learn and improve, adding more value to users’ lives, according to LG in a post.
