    LG at CES 2017: Here’s everything you need to know – CNET (Jan 4, 2017)

It also talked up its emergent AI capabilities, highlighting the fact that OEMs are making their own investments here rather than relying on AI from their platform vendors. Lots of this stuff feels more concept than mainstream at this point, but it’s further validation for what’s rapidly becoming the dominance of voice platforms by Amazon’s Alexa.

Tough times for Android phone makers.
