SEATED LEFT TO RIGHT Dr. Meric Gertler, President, University of Toronto, and Dr. I.P. Park, President and CTO, LG Electronics Inc. STANDING LEFT TO RIGHT Mohammed Ansari, Senior Vice President, LG Silicon Valley Lab; Dr. Vivek Goel, Vice President, Research and Innovation, University of Toronto; the Honorable Jim Wilson, Ontario Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade; Dr. Peter Kim, Senior Vice President, Artificial Intelligence, LG Electronics; and Dr. Derek Newton, Assistant Vice-President, Innovation, Partnerships and Entrepreneurship, University of Toronto.

LG Labs to Drive Evolution of Advanced AI Technologies Across Multiple Touchpoints

LG Electronics Inc (LG) is poised to define the future of artificial intelligence (AI) for consumers and businesses in the years ahead with the establishment of a major new AI research presence in North America in collaboration with leaders in academia and start-ups.

This week marks the launch of the new LG Electronics AI Research Lab in Canada, an extension of the newly expanded LG Silicon Valley AI Lab in Santa Clara, California.

Supporting LG’s vision of AI as a key future growth engine, the North American labs further enhance LG’s global research capabilities, which include AI labs in South Korea, India and Russia.

In addition, LG is entering into a new research partnership with the University of Toronto, which is recognized worldwide for its AI and machine learning expertise, particularly in the area of deep learning.

“AI will ultimately touch everybody’s lives, transforming the way we live, work and play,” said LG Electronics President and Chief Technology Officer Dr. I.P. Park.

“Early implementations of AI in connected devices today are setting the stage for tomorrow’s smart cities, smart homes, smart businesses and smart devices, all with capabilities that no one has even dreamed of yet.” He said the North American labs and LG’s research partnership with the University of Toronto will play a key role in developing source technologies defining that future.

Under its five-year, multi-million-dollar research partnership with the University of Toronto, LG will build on its Open Platform-Open Partnership-Open Connectivity strategy to expand the AI ecosystem.

The new lab will capitalize on the expertise of researchers at the University of Toronto who will now have the opportunity to work collaboratively with LG’s growing US and Canadian AI R&D teams. Complementing this work, LG intends to collaborate with and invest in North American start-ups.

University of Toronto President Meric Gertler views LG as an exciting new partner for AI research. “The University of Toronto looks forward to partnering with an innovative global company like LG as our researchers continue to advance the boundaries of artifi-cial intelligence.

The presence of such leading, multi-national firms in our innovation ecosystem strengthens opportunities for our faculty, students and start-up companies across a whole range of disciplines.”

Echoing President Gertler’s views, Dr Park said, “AI solutions based on deep learning will revolutionize how we interact with the world around us, in new seamless ways that use contextual data from things like biometrics, emotions, gestures and of course voice.”

He went on to explain the three main pillars of LG’s AI strategy:

“The first is the ability to evolve with time, so the more you use our products, the better they evolve to meet your specific needs.

The second is the ability to integrate AI into diverse touchpoints – to have a seamless, consistent user experience across the entire LG product portfolio, from connected appliances and TVs to connected cars and smartphones.

The third is openness; our strategy is to provide the best AI experience for LG customers, leveraging the complementary capabilities of leading partners across the ecosystem,” Dr. Park explained.

Adissadikin who is also the President of AIBIM, added “RHB Islamic’s role in this initiative is to promote and encourage contributions towards Waqf funds among the public and private sectors, via collection points.

These funds will then be channeled to support viable projects in education, health, economic empowerment and investment, approved by a Joint Management Committee comprising representatives from participating banks and SIRCs.”

The Waqf funds will be collected via online channels only such as JomPAY and Internet biller. JomPAY is Malaysia’s national bill payment scheme, under the auspices of Bank Negara Malaysia with the participation of banks and large billers.

Proton memulakan separuh kedua 2018 dengan mencatatkan angka jualan tertinggi sepanjang 30 bulan yang lalu. Jualan meningkat sebanyak 31% berbanding bulan sebelum ini dengan 8,102 unit kereta Proton dijual kepada pembeli kereta tempatan dan luar negara.

PROTON berkata, meskipun peningkatan jualan tempatan adalah disebabkan pelanggan mengambil peluang membeli kereta dengan GST yang berkadar sifar dan sebelum pelaksanaan SST pada September ini, aktiviti eksport yang diteruskan semula oleh syarikat turut menyumbang kepada peningkatan kepada keseluruhan jualan.

Anggaran pegangan pasaran adalah 11.7% kerana Saga dan Persona terus menjadi model pilihan. Pegangan pasaran PROTON meningkat sebanyak tiga bulan berturut-turut dengan anggaran 11.7% bagi Jualan Keseluruhan Industri (TIV) untuk bulan Julai.

Jumlah tersebut meningkat berbanding jumlah pegangan pasaran sebanyak 9.6% yang diperoleh pada bulan Jun mengikut angka yang dikongsi oleh Persatuan Automotif Malaysia (MAA).

Saga dan Persona kekal sebagai model pilihan apabila mencapai jualan 3,000 unit buat kali pertama pada 2018. Persona turut mencapai sasaran baharu untuk tahun ini apabila merekodkan jualan lebih daripada 2,221 unit, memecahkan rekod pertama kali iaitu sebanyak 2,000 unit sejak Mei 2017.

Saga kekal menjadi pilihan utama kerana model tersebut adalah yang paling mampu milik, luas dan dilengkapi pengendalian terbaik bagi segmennya serta dengan tawaran ‘Saga Terbaik dalam masa 10 tahun’ di mana pelanggan boleh memiliki Saga baharu ini dengan harga kurang dari RM30,000 pada bulan Jun dan Julai.

Bagi Persona, model yang mendapat penarafan antarabangsa 5 bintang oleh ASEAN NCAP ini mempunyai pelbagai ciri keselamatan termasuk Kawalan Kestabilan Elektronik (ESC), Kawalan Daya Kawalan (TC) dan 6 beg udara serta ruang dalamannya yang luas, ruangan bagasi seluas 510L dan banyak lagi, yang merupakan antara faktor utama yang mencuri perhatian pembeli.

“Julai adalah bulan yang sangat baik untuk PROTON kerana kami telah mencapai jumlah yang paling tinggi bukan hanya untuk 2018 tetapi juga untuk 30 bulan yang lalu. Kami tahu bahawa faktor utama yang meningkatkan jualan adalah disebabkan pengecualian cukai melalui GST berkadar sifar sebelum pelaksanaan SST pada bulan September tetapi jumlah jualan tersebut juga membuktikan bahawa rakyat Malaysia telah membuka mata mereka dengan tawaran menarik yang terdapat pada barisan kereta-kereta kami.

“Justeru, kami berharap dapat mengekalkan momentum ini walaupun selepas SST diperkenalkan kerana kami bersedia untuk melancarkan SUV pertama pada tahun ini,” kata Abdul Rashid Musa, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif, PROTON Edar Sdn Bhd.

Salah satu matlamat utama yang digariskan untuk pertumbuhan jangka masa panjang PROTON ialah jualan eksport, yang telah digerakkan semula pada 2018 dengan penghantaran sebanyak 517 unit pada bulan Julai.

Pada masa ini, pasaran eksport yang paling popular untuk kereta Proton adalah di Timur Tengah menerusi lokasi utama seperti Jordan, Iraq dan Iran. Jualan di Mesir dijangka kembali pada suku akhir tahun ini apabila negara pulih dari krisis mata wang yang menghalang industri kereta mereka dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini.

Meskipun usaha Proton kini tertumpu kepada pelancaran SUV yang baharu, dan untuk memastikan tarikan di dalam barisan kereta Proton sentiasa terjaga, syarikat telah memulakan dua aktiviti untuk menonjolkan produknya.

Aktiviti pertama adalah Ace The Space, di mana orang ramai dijemput untuk berkunjung ke cawangan PROTON yang terpilih untuk mengambil bahagian dalam cabaran bagi melihat berapa ramai yang boleh muat di dalam ‘Xtra ruang’ bagi sebuah Proton Ertiga.

Pasukan terbaik akan mendapat ganjaran menarik dan lima kumpulan terbaik keseluruhan dijemput untuk bersaing di pertandingan akhir yang akan diadakan pada 18 Ogos di PROTON Edar Crystal. Berlainan dari pusingan awal, kenderaan yang digunakan pada pusingan akhir adalah Proton Exora di mana akan terdapat kemungkinan besar rekod seramai 41 orang di dalam sebuah Ertiga akan dipecahkan.

Inisiatif kedua ialah PROTON 1 Tank Adventure, yang membawa para pelanggan, ahli kelab kereta Proton, selebriti dan rakan-rakan media bersama-sama menjelajah ke lima wilayah di Malaysia.

Setiap pusingan menggalakkan para peserta untuk menikmati pemandangan, budaya dan makanan tempatan di wilayah-wilayah tersebut sambil memandu kereta Proton sama ada Iriz, Persona atau Saga.

Satu-satunya cabaran dalam penjelajahan ini yang meliputi lebih dari 600km adalah mereka perlu melakukan perjalanan dengan hanya menggunakan satu tangki minyak. Hadiah akan diberikan kepada peserta yang terbaik dan pada pusingan akhir yang akan diadakan pada hujung bulan ini, peserta akan diminta untuk melengkapkan perjalanan lebih dari 720km.

Angka penggunaan minyak yang paling jimat yang diperoleh para peserta semasa pusingan wilayah setakat ini adalah 21.05km/L bagi Iriz dan 25.18km/L bagi Persona. Bagi Proton Saga pula, bacaan terbaik yang direkodkan adalah 28.49km/L.

Seperti bulan-bulan sebelum ini, PROTON terus menyokong Tabung Harapan Malaysia dengan menyumbang sebanyak RM10 untuk setiap kereta yang dijual sehingga 31 Disember 2018. Oleh itu, dengan penjualan sebanyak 8,102 unit kereta pada Julai, sejumlah RM81,020 akan diperuntukkan tambahan dari sumbangan sebanyak RM61,730 pada bulan Jun.

Vantage Speed Sdn Bhd (Vantage Speed) secara rasminya telah membuka cawangan 4Snya yang dirasmikan oleh Dr Li Chunrong, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif PROTON, dan turut dihadiri oleh barisan Pengurusan Kanan PROTON.

CAWANGAN pengedar 4S itu memberikan pengalaman jualan dan servis yang lebih baik dan Vantage Speed telah beroperasi sebagai pengedar PROTON sejak 2009 dan mengendalikan cawangan 1S dan 2S di lokasi berasingan.

Bagaimanapun, demi memenuhi keperluan dari PROTON yang bertujuan untuk memberikan kemudahan lebih baik kepada pelanggan sebagai pusat sehenti, pemegang saham Vantage Speed bersetuju untuk membuat pelaburan dalam perniagaannya itu sebagai sebuah pusat 4S.

Cawangan 2S yang pada asalnya milik Magnavision Sdn Bhd ditutup dan seluruh kawasan tersebut diubah suai menjadi pusat 4S yang baharu. Bagi cawangan 1S miliknya di Setia Alam pula dikekalkan bertujuan untuk terus memberi kemudahan kepada pelanggan sedia ada di sana.

Sebagai pengedar yang telah lama berkecimpung di dalam industri auto, keperluan untuk menyediakan servis yang baik dan cemerlang kepada pelanggan adalah satu kemestian.

Menurut Dato’ Sri Tee Boon Kee, Pengarah Vantage Speed, “Apa yang paling penting adalah pelanggan suka berkunjung ke cawangan ini untuk membeli kereta.

Sebaik sahaja mereka membeli kereta, mereka juga suka untuk kembali kepada kami bagi perkhidmatan servis kereta. Walau bagaimanapun, mungkin sukar untuk kami mencapai tahap kepuasan pelanggan itu sekiranya kami tidak beroperasi sebagai pusat sehenti.

Sebuah cawangan 4S akan membolehkan kami berurusan dengan pelanggan secara lebih baik, dan dapat memahami keperluan mereka.

Dengan kawasan seluas 2418 meter persegi, cawangan ini dilengkapi dengan 14 petak servis, 10 ruangan ketuk dan cat serta ruangan yang memuatkan sehingga 10 kenderaan di ruang pameran.

Pelanggan turut selesa dengan ruangan tempat duduk yang luas, di mana boleh memuatkan 80 tempat duduk untuk mereka. Selain itu, sama seperti cawangan PROTON yang lain, terdapat juga ruangan minuman, ruangan kanak-kanak, WIFI percuma dan kawasan istirahat pelanggan yang selesa sambil menunggu kereta diservis.
