If you have an LG TV at home, you are interested. But even if your intelligent television comes from another manufacturer, because the future of the Google vocal assistant will undergo an important setback which can become extensible to other brands: The end of Google Assistant begins to intudate,, According to 9TO5GOOGLE.
The effects of Arrival of the co -pilot to LG and Samsung televisions They already notice. One of the most important changes is Disappearance of Google Assistant on LG TVS. The date marked in the calendar is May 1.
AI succeeds Google Assistant on LG TVS
LG televisions have an ace in their manga for this 2025. Their operating system will undergo a significant renewal of the hand of Webos 25With AI as an operations captain and a personalization taken to the extreme.
The consequences of this strong integration of artificial intelligence in LG televisions are already starting to arrive and the responsible person is Microsoft Copilot. With Copilot, LG found the perfect pilot to lead us to a better understanding of our voice and what we ask for our intelligent television.
Internet research and interaction “Hands Liding” It is now much more efficient, simple and intelligent. But, for this, the LG smart televisions had to take out the Google assistant from the scene, because compared to the possibilities of Copilot, we offered ourselves a contextualization and an understanding worse than those that artificial intelligence already gives us.
This is not the first blow that the assistant Google takes, the virtual assistant that the own Google is already loaded on its mobile devices in favor of GeminiIt is therefore logical that other manufacturers follow their steps.
With this scenario, LG Smart TV will say goodbye to Google Assistant on May 1, 2025. Users of these televisions are already starting to see on their screens a warning message of “the completion of the Google assistant service”.
In this message, the company specifies that the voice recognition of the remote microphone button will continue to operate. The difference is that instead of using Google Assistant, the LG voice recognition service will be used.
What does that suppose for our connected house
Voice assistants as we know them are starting to die to give way to artificial intelligence. In mobile devices, this should not have more important consequences than using Gemini instead of the assistant (in the case of Android), but if we are talking about televisions, the thing changes, because it can complicate the control of the ecosystem of our connected house.
This end of the Google Assistant service now raises many unknowns to users who took advantage of the TV screen to control their domestic devices. By eliminating this feature, you will no longer be able to do it, although There are compromise solutions, such as using a Google Nest speaker.
We contacted LG for more details on the repercussions that this end of the Google Assistant service can have for users, in particular those for which the integration of Google Assistant with its TV was a weight of weight to make its purchasing decision. We will update this article as soon as we have the necessary answers.
