At CES® 2026, LG Electronics demonstrates a decisive transformation in the role of artificial intelligence through its philosophy of Affectionate Intelligence. Under the theme “Innovation in tune with you,” artificial intelligence is no longer positioned as an abstract digital layer but as a living, responsive system that senses human needs, interprets context, and acts with intention across homes, vehicles, and lifestyle environments.
This showcase reflects a future where AI operates quietly yet powerfully in the background, enabling intuitive experiences that feel natural, empathetic, and purposeful. The focus remains firmly on real-world implementation, moving beyond conceptual demonstrations to functional intelligence embedded in everyday spaces.

Affectionate Intelligence: Sense, Think, Act in Real Environments
Affectionate Intelligence is built on a clear and disciplined operational framework. AI systems continuously sense environmental and behavioral signals, process insights locally and intelligently, and execute actions that align with user context. This Sense–Think–Act model ensures responsiveness without intrusion, allowing technology to adapt fluidly to changing conditions.
Rather than confining intelligence to screens or apps, this model integrates AI across robots, appliances, vehicles, and displays, creating ecosystems that respond holistically to lifestyle patterns.
The “In Tune” Monument: A Visual Manifesto
The exhibition experience begins with the “In Tune” Monument, a large-scale installation composed of 38 LG OLED evo W6 Wallpaper TVs. Each display features an ultra-slim 9-millimeter-class profile, arranged to create the illusion of floating panels. When synchronized, the displays merge into a single cinematic canvas, delivering a powerful visual statement that captures harmony between technology, design, and emotion.
This installation sets the tone for the exhibition, reinforcing the idea that intelligence becomes most powerful when it blends seamlessly into its surroundings.
Living in Tune: The Zero Labor Home Vision
AI That Reduces Effort and Enhances Well-Being
The Living in Tune zone presents the concept of the Zero Labor Home, an AI-driven residential ecosystem designed to minimize repetitive effort while enhancing comfort and care. At the heart of this environment stands LG CLOiD™, a home-specialized AI robot engineered for safety, precision, and reliability.
LG CLOiD™ in Practical Household Scenarios
- Kitchen: Intelligent meal planning customized for household size, preferences, and nutrition goals
- Living Room: Wellness monitoring and daily assistance designed for active senior lifestyles
- Laundry Room: Automated garment handling, care optimization, and organization management
LG CLOiD™ demonstrates advanced finger-level dexterity and full-arm articulation, enabling physical interaction with household objects. Integration with the ThinQ™ AI Home Platform ensures cohesive operation across connected appliances. Enhanced ThinQ UP and ThinQ Care services further enable predictive maintenance and personalized recommendations, shaping a home environment that anticipates needs rather than reacting to problems.
AXIUM™ Robotic Actuators: Powering the Next Robotics Wave
The Living in Tune zone also introduces LG Actuator AXIUM™, a new robotic actuator platform developed for the expanding robotics sector. These actuators integrate motors, reducers, and drives into compact joint modules optimized for high torque, energy efficiency, and lightweight construction.
Built upon extensive expertise in appliance motor engineering, AXIUM™ establishes a scalable foundation for robotics innovation, balancing performance and cost efficiency for broad industry adoption.
Ride in Tune: Intelligent Mobility Experiences
AI Inside the Software-Defined Vehicle
The Ride in Tune zone explores the future of software-defined vehicles and adaptive in-cabin intelligence. AI-powered in-vehicle systems showcased here have received the CES 2026 Best of Innovation Award in the In-Vehicle Entertainment category, reflecting leadership in automotive intelligence.
Core In-Vehicle AI Systems
- Mobility Display Solution: Windshield-based display technology delivering real-time driving data and mixed-reality content during autonomous travel
- Automotive Vision Solution: Eye-tracking and interior sensing technologies that assess driver attention and passenger conditions to support adaptive safety
- In-Vehicle Entertainment Solution: Continuous content streaming between home and vehicle, including interactive communication through vehicle side windows
Powered by an on-device multimodal generative AI platform, these systems enable deeply personalized mobility experiences while maintaining privacy and low latency.
Viewing in Tune: AI-Driven Display Innovation
Ultra-Slim Design Meets Intelligent Processing
The Viewing in Tune zone highlights leadership in AI-enhanced display technology. The LG OLED evo W6 Wallpaper TV delivers the full intensity of Hyper Radiant Color Technology while maintaining an ultra-slim form factor enabled by True Wireless connectivity.
Complementing the hardware experience is LG Gallery+, a webOS-based service that curates art and visual content according to user preferences, transforming displays into adaptive aesthetic elements.
webOS AI Features in Action
Interactive demonstrations of AI Search, AI Concierge, and AI Voice Control illustrate how natural-language understanding simplifies navigation, content discovery, and system control across connected devices.
Flagship Displays for Premium Viewing
The zone also features the OLED evo G6 and Micro RGB evo TVs, powered by the α (Alpha) 11 AI Processor Gen3. Dual Super Upscaling technology enhances clarity by processing multiple AI upscaling paths simultaneously. A 136-inch AM Micro LED TV AI anchors the experience, showcasing large-format visual immersion for premium environments.
Entertainment in Tune: Gaming and Audio Without Compromise
High-Performance Gaming Ecosystems
Developed in collaboration with Reddit, the Entertainment in Tune zone presents two immersive gaming environments:
- Console gaming powered by the OLED evo W6 paired with the Aero Speaker
- PC gaming on the UltraGear™ OLED GX9, supporting Dual Mode (5K2K at 165Hz and WFHD at 330Hz) with AI upscaling
These setups emphasize wireless connectivity, ultra-high refresh rates, and low-latency responsiveness, delivering competitive-grade performance.
xboom Studio: Audio Meets AI Creativity
The xboom Studio, developed alongside will.i.am, introduces a new generation of audio products:
- LG xboom Stage 501 for live performance and stage environments
- LG xboom Blast for high-output portable sound
- LG xboom Mini and LG xboom Rock for compact everyday listening
The studio hosts The Lab featuring FYI.RAiDiO, an interactive AI-powered radio experience enabling real-time engagement across music, culture, and technology conversations.
Mastery in Tune: LG SIGNATURE and Intelligent Luxury
