Khaleej Times|January 06, 2025
Gadgets, robots and vehicles imbued with artificial intelligence (AI) will once again vie for attention at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week, as vendors behind the scenes will seek ways to deal with tariffs threatened by US President-elect Donald Trump.
AI expected to star at annual CES gadget extravaganza

The annual CES opens formally in Las Vegas on Tuesday, but preceding days are packed with product announcements.

AI will be a major theme of the show, along with autonomous vehicles ranging from tractors and boats to lawn mowers and golf club trollies.

"Everybody is going to be talking about AI," Creative Strategies analyst Carolina Milanesi told AFP. "From fridges to ovens to whatever, everybody is going to be mentioning AI whether it is there or not."

Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang will give a "do-not-miss" keynote speech on the eve of the CES show floor opening, touting innovations at the AI computer chip powerhouse, according to independent tech industry analyst Rob Enderle.

Chip industry rivals Intel, AMD and Qualcomm are expected to counter with news of their own.

Gigantic auto show

ČES will also be a gigantic auto show, with carmakers and those supplying components showing off self-driving and automated safety capabilities.
