How living with AI can improve your daily life
These days, AI — artificial intelligence — has become a household name, mostly because so many household gadgets and appliances use it.
What’s the impact of AI becoming part of your everyday life? Ultimately, it’s about convenience. Many tasks are getting easier, products are more efficient and AI is enhancing daily lives in unexpected ways.
Here are some recent AI advances that may be improving your life.
Appliances that can think and learn
You may not have expected laundry machines to be among the major appliances to use AI, but it’s true — the latest innovations in washers and dryers allow consumers more freedom in controlling their machines and help those machines apply more precision in how they handle different types of clothing.
For example, LG Electronics introduced an AI-powered TurboWash 360 Front-Load Washer/Dryer Pair. The Ultra Large-Capacity washer assesses fabric type, weight and softness to choose the best washing motions for a superb clean. The advanced spinning algorithm measures load size to minimize vibrations, noise and spin time. LG’s user-friendly ezDispense feature takes the guesswork out of detergent dosage by automatically adding the exact amount of detergent and fabric softener needed for each load.
Because the washer and dryer both utilize AI to learn from usage patterns over time, settings continually optimize for the best results. The machines are also Wi-Fi connected, so you can control the units or monitor cycle times remotely using ThinQ-enabled smartphones or voice commands via Amazon Alexa. When the washer is synced with your Amazon account, it can reorder detergent before you run out.
Enhanced entertainment platforms
Just a few years ago, TVs couldn’t perform half the functions they can today. Using ThinQ AI and powered by the α (Alpha) 9 Gen 3 AI processor, the latest LG OLED TVs bring a picture and sound quality to a whole new level — and are used for much more than watching shows.
These TVs apply a deep learning algorithm to recognize content source quality, then determine the best method for optimal picture quality among four genres: movie, sports, standard, and animation. The new processor finely adjusts the picture, taking into account the room’s ambient conditions to offer the best levels of screen brightness and contrast, using its understanding of how the human eye perceives images. What’s more, the processor’s AI Picture Pro is capable of recognizing faces and text on a screen, fine-tuning and sharpening each to produce more natural skin tones, well-defined facial features, and clearer, more readable characters.
Even sound is enhanced by the intelligent algorithm, which can mix two-channel audio to deliver convincing surround sound. Thanks to LG’s AI Sound Pro, LG OLED TVs analyze and classify the audio of content among five categories — music, movies, sports, drama or news — for clearer voices and richer, more textured background sound.
The latest lineup of TVs also matches perfectly with LG’s stylish 2020 soundbars, which are future-proofed to help you create seamless visual harmony in any room. These advanced models are self-calibrating, able to recognize and analyze tones to accurately assess the dimensions of a given space and adjust accordingly.
With ThinQ and a built-in connection to Google Assistant and Alexa Amazon, you can use your TV to control other compatible devices and appliances, search the web — and even order pizza without pausing the movie you’re watching!
Advanced mobile communication
What could be better than experiencing LG OLED TV technology in your home? How about holding it in your hand?
Using LG’s latest LG V50 ThinQ 5G smartphone, you can enjoy LG OLED quality display on demand, with striking clarity and vibrant color.
The ability to communicate, record and enjoy pictures and videos, plus livestreaming shows and movies on-the-go has reached new levels of speed and quality, especially with the revolutionary new 5G connectivity.
You can also use its five cameras to create and share high-quality content. With three rear cameras and two front cameras, you can capture truly original selfies, pictures and videos with rich detail.
Artificial intelligence may still sound like science fiction, but the truth is, everyone is using it more and more each day. AI technology is helping people perform tasks and enhancing everyday life in so many ways — and there’s no telling what the future may bring.
[1] Customers can add this new feature by accessing the LG support and updating their compatible TV’s firmware with the latest version posted on that support site. TV models and release dates may vary by region. (BPT)

7 Ideas to Improve Curb Appeal
7 Ideas to Improve Curb Appeal
Whether you’re hoping to sell in the near future or simply looking to touch up outdated areas, there’s one aspect of home maintenance most homeowners agree is important: curb appeal. It’s a broad term that may reference any number of visible features, meaning there are plenty of ways to enhance the appearance of your house.
Consider these ideas – some big, some small – for bringing new life to your home’s look from the experts at the National Association of the Remodeling Industry.
Swap Out Your Front DoorAs one of the first things a guest, passerby, or potential homebuyer may notice, the front door is the gateway to your home and a likely opening impression. Upgrading to a heavier, bolder door or simply repainting the existing threshold can capture positive attention. Alternately, swapping out hardware for a more eye-catching look is an easy way to achieve a fresh facelift.
Create Seating AreasA welcoming home is typically an attractive one, and there are few better ways to create a cozy vibe than a seating or gathering area on the porch. Whether it’s the classic porch swing or chairs and a coffee table suitable for the outdoors, a small zone ideal for conversation and camaraderie can help create an at-home appearance.
Plant ShrubberyBillowing trees and blooming flowers are certainly eye-catching accessories outside a home, but many varieties require intense care to grow the way you envision and may adhere to seasonal weather patterns for optimal appearance. For a quicker result, shop around for fully mature shrubs and plants that can withstand elements throughout the year.
Rethink the MailboxIt may not be as exciting of a project to undertake, however, giving your mailbox a fresh look helps it stand out and – especially if it’s directly in front of your home – may turn an ordinary object into a worthy attractant. Your work may be as simple as updating to a newer model or as thought-out as constructing a small rock wall around the base.
Add StoneworkFor a project that can give your house a new look altogether, consider incorporating stonework or a stone veneer for a natural appearance. If changing your facade isn’t in the plans, less complicated ideas like pavers, brick sidewalks and landscape rings are ways to introduce a classic touch.
Paint (or Repaint) the ExteriorChanging the exterior paint color of a home is one of the most popular renovation projects, and one of the first that comes to mind for many homeowners. Simply altering the colors of trim, gutters and other accent pieces may be enough for some homes, and repainting the exterior doesn’t have to mean a new color altogether – consider a brighter shade or simply a fresh coat to help your home pop.
Update LightingLight fixtures come in all shapes and sizes, and many times the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. While updated porch illumination may not drive home a potential sale, it’s a subtle touch right as guests arrive. Adding smaller lights in previously unlit areas like around landscaping (consider solar-powered for easier maintenance) can help your hard work shine.
