"You can attend CES and leave with whatever agenda you want: AI is terrible, AI is the future, there too many companies dedicated to robot lawn mowers, etc. My goal was simpler: Find a few new products I liked, suss out some trends and try to define our next year in technology through the lens of a conference attended by pretty much every major tech company in the world (well, except for Apple)."
"Given that we're a lifestyle publication, I also wanted to see how these trends would translate into everyday life. Do you need smart glasses? Should your fridge offer personalized recipes? Is my self-driving robotaxi going to crash at this intersection? (Vegas traffic is bad.) Why are there so many AI companions, and why are most of them creepy?"
"Samsung has pretty much staked its future on AI connectivity. At its CES event, The First Look, the theme was " Your Companion to AI Living." Essentially, AI will be front and center across almost every Samsung product, be it televisions (which now can help you, say, find recipes from shows you're watching), screen-enabled refrigerators (which can recognize food items and help with meal planning) and even your laundry (your clothes now have fewer wrinkles, thanks to Bespoke AI AirDresser!)."
CES occurred across the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Venetian Expo and multiple hotel venues, featuring consumer tech from nearly every major company except Apple. Exhibitors presented a mix of perspectives on AI alongside numerous robotic and niche gadgets, including many robot lawn mowers. AI integrations appeared across televisions, screen-enabled refrigerators and laundry appliances to enable recipe discovery, food recognition and wrinkle reduction via Bespoke AI AirDresser. Samsung emphasized AI connectivity under the theme "Your Companion to AI Living." Multiple companies showcased AI companions and robotic devices, prompting questions about everyday usefulness and creepiness. Qualcomm hosted some experiences without additional compensation.
