News LG working with Jim Keller on new ‘Affectionate Intelligence’ processor

[Admin]

LG and Tenstorrent have announced that they will expand their collaboration efforts. The tech twosome already have some SoC plans in progress, but today they voiced intention to develop AI chips to push forward LS’s concept of ‘Affectionate Intelligence’ in AI-powered home applicances, smart home solutions, mobility, and commercial applications.

I'm happy for Jim and his team, but I don't find this a very surprising development. I hope it works out well for all involved.

LOL, "Affectionate Intelligence" sounds like the AI will smother you with love, during the uprising. Probably not the worst way to go, I'd say.

or it can be the Psycho Stalker Ex-GirlFriend AI.

"Affectionate" Intelligence 😂

It will affectionately serve you the Ads built into your very expensive devices

They really just want to datamine people's appliance habits.

The only feature I can think of wanting is self power limiting appliances, like don't run the electric water heater and dryer at the same time, or something like that. Plenty of external ways to do that already, but it would be cool if they could negotiate in real time to be the most efficient. And all of that only makes sense when you have solar power/power constraints/demand charges.

For TVs, it certainly makes sense to use AI for deinterlacing, upscaling, and motion interpolation. Basically like DLSS for video (which Nvidia also has, BTW). There are also some dynamic contrast enhancement techniques, etc.

Of course, that has nothing to do with being affectionate. So, I'm sure the new stuff they're talking about is probably something like the stuff you mentioned, as well as trying to be predictive and adaptive.

Scarier

every greedy company without a clue is bragging about how there ai product will save you from everything.
soon when they fail to deliver on their promises the investors will turn on them, and the companies will go bankrupt.

this will be a good thing, then we can get back to work.

of the many companies trying to adding ai to anything and everything, ai powered butt scratchers etc, there might be 2 or 3 that will survive this nonsense.

AI is good at learning patterns, adaptive control, and replacing heuristic-based logic. Problems which don't have a good closed-form solution (which is a lot of real world problems) are often better solved through AI than having a programmer try to think up some ad hoc rules.

So, I don't agree that it doesn't have a role to play in a lot of contexts. Is it being oversold? Of course. Tech trends are always like that. That doesn't mean there's no meat to the claims. So, I partially agree that there will probably be point where the industry turns sour on AI, but it won't go away.

Furthermore, I'd say the only one feeling a hard crash should be Nvidia, but that's partly because it will be facing increasing competition on top of a decrease in demand. A lot of its biggest customers, like Google, MS, and OpenAI are building their own solutions, while AMD, Cerebras, and Intel are catching up to it on the open market.
