LAS VEGAS: Electronics giant LG says it wants to utilise data from hundreds of millions of household devices to make AI-based software more useful.

While AI programs are often optimised with data from the internet, LG believes it has the "unique opportunity" to use real-time information from everyday life, chief executive William Cho said ahead of the launch of the CES tech fair in Las Vegas (January 9-12).
