The AI revolution is upon us, and CES 2024 is just the beginning. Whether you're an avid tech enthusiast, a curious observer, or a cautious sceptic, there's no denying the excitement and potential of the AI-powered future that awaits.
Get ready for a tidal wave of artificial intelligence (AI) at CES 2024. The annual tech extravaganza, kicking off January 9 in Las Vegas, promises to be awash in AI-powered gadgets, gizmos, and innovations. This year, AI isn't just a sprinkle on the tech sundae; it's the cherry on top, the whipped cream, and maybe even the ice cream itself.
Expect to see AI woven into the fabric of everything from self-driving cars and smart scooters to headphones, cameras, speakers, and even televisions. We're not just talking about voice-activated assistants anymore. Think real-time language translation on the fly, personalised news feeds curated by AI algorithms, and even AI-powered art generators creating custom masterpieces before your eyes.
Underpinning this AI revolution will be a new generation of chips from tech giants like Intel, Qualcomm, and AMD. These chips will bring AI processing power directly to devices, eliminating the need for laggy cloud-based processing. Imagine snappy computer vision, seamless voice-to-text, and instant language translation, all happening right on your device.
While AI will undoubtedly be the headliner at CES, it's not the only act in town. The automotive industry, though taking a backseat to AI this year, still promises exciting electric vehicle reveals from companies like Honda. Health tech will also be prominent, with a focus on wearables, remote patient monitoring, and personalised healthcare solutions. And for the first time ever, CES will feature a dedicated beauty tech section, with L'Oréal taking centre stage with a keynote address.
With Apple's rumoured Vision Pro headset looming on the horizon, expect a renewed interest in extended reality (XR) at CES. Companies will be looking to either capitalise on the excitement for Apple's offering or carve out their own niche in the growing XR market.
This year's CES promises to be an event unlike any other. Buckle up for a sensory overload of AI-powered everything, alongside advancements in healthcare, automotive technology, and the ever-evolving world of XR. It's going to be loud, it's going to be crowded, and it's going to be a glimpse into the future of technology, powered by the unstoppable force of AI.
While CES may be the epicentre of the AI storm in January, the rest of the year promises a slew of other exciting AI-focused events across the globe. Here are a few to keep your calendar marked:
