The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is gearing up to showcase groundbreaking innovations, with artificial intelligence expected to be a major highlight.

The annual event will kick off in Las Vegas on Tuesday, January 9, but numerous product announcements are already underway.

This year’s CES will feature a wide array of gadgets, robots, and vehicles equipped with AI capabilities. Expect discussions around everything from smart appliances to self-driving vehicles, including tractors, boats, and even lawnmowers.

Creative Strategies analyst Carolina Milanesi said that “everybody is going to be talking about AI,” indicating its pervasive presence across various products.

Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, will deliver a keynote speech, focusing on advancements from the AI chip leader. Competitors like Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm are also expected to unveil their latest innovations.

In addition to AI, the show will serve as a substantial auto exhibition, highlighting self-driving technologies and automated safety features from major car manufacturers.

Techsponential analyst Avi Greengart noted that CES has increasingly become an automotive showcase, with flying cars also making an appearance, although regulatory approval for their operation remains a challenge.

The exhibition will also present robots designed for both work and companionship, along with gadgets aimed at enhancing mental well-being and health tracking. Greengart pointed out that “digital health is going to be huge,” with more technology being integrated into everyday health monitoring.

But looming tariffs introduced by President-elect Donald Trump could impact the cost of imported goods, causing concern among vendors at the event. Analysts predict that discussions regarding supply chain challenges and pricing strategies will take place behind closed doors.

Ultimately, CES 2025 promises to be a pivotal event for the tech industry, showcasing the latest advancements while navigating the complexities of a changing economic landscape.
