ARTIFICIAL intelligence will dominate CES 2026 in Las Vegas, where lofty visions meet practical limits. While science fiction imagines autonomous superintelligence, today’s AI is confined to specialized tasks — language translation, health monitoring, or smart glasses.
Humanoid robots remain reliant on human tele-operators. Analysts warn the gap between hype and reality will widen, yet expect “AI-powered smart everything” devices, from TVs and appliances to cars and wearables.
The sprawling trade show, with thousands of exhibitors and over 142,000 attendees last year, will showcase robots, exoskeletons, toys, and autonomous vehicles. Amid hype and “AI washing”, experts highlight genuine advances in machine learning. Competition among Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm drives AI-ready PCs, though soaring chip prices cast a shadow over the industry.
