What to expect from the annual Consumer Electronics Show: More AI, more robots. The start of the New Year marked the commencement of the annual CES trade show, a platform where companies showcase their latest tech offerings for the year. Organized by the Consumer Technology Association, this multiday event takes place in Las Vegas and presents a plethora of advancements in industries such as robotics, healthcare, vehicles, wearables, gaming, and more.

Artificial Intelligence Takes Center Stage

Artificial intelligence is set to be a major theme at CES 2026, with AI technology being incorporated into a myriad of consumer products. AI industry leaders such as Jensen Huang from Nvidia and AMD CEO Lisa Su will be sharing their visions for future AI solutions. Other keynotes will also focus on AI, including one from Lenovo’s CEO, Yuanqing Yang.

The AI industry is focusing on healthcare, with a particular emphasis on changing individual health habits to treat conditions. For example, Beyond Medicine’s prescription app is focused on addressing a particular jaw disorder.

Domestic Robots

Domestic robots are another major highlight of the show. LG has already announced its helper bot named “CLOiD,” designed to handle a variety of household tasks. Hyundai is also making a significant push towards robotics and manufacturing advancements.

Extended Reality

Extended reality, a virtual training ground for robots and other physical AI, is also a topic of interest at CES 2026. Last year, the event attracted over 141,000 attendees from over 150 countries, with over 3,500 exhibitors. Similar numbers are expected for this year’s show.

CEO Gary Shapiro’s Insights

In a conversation with the AP, CTA Executive Chair and CEO Gary Shapiro shared his expectations for CES 2026. According to Shapiro, the main themes of the event are AI, robotics, health and longevity, mobility, and content creation. Shapiro believes that the future of creativity lies in a hybrid approach, where content creators work with AI.

The Future of AI

Shapiro is optimistic about the future of AI, believing it has the potential to perform miracles and solve fundamental human problems in food production, clean air, clean water, and healthcare. However, he expresses concerns about having enough energy to process all that AI. At the show, a Korean company is set to showcase the first-ever small-scale nuclear-powered energy creation device, indicating a potential solution to this problem.
