AI Innovation and Solutions Continue to Dominate
In 2022, healthcare solutions were front and center at CES as the world continued to deal with the COVID crisis. Data-driven biosensors, remote patient monitoring, and AI and Machine Learning to bridge the gap between clinical care and self-care were just a few of the technology trends making waves.
Just a year ago, artificial intelligence was gaining traction at CES 2023, featuring the latest AI-powered gadgets and solutions hitting the marketplace. With the launch of generative AI tools like ChatGPT and others becoming more mainstream in recent months, AI will once again be the focus at CES.
Senior Vice President of Retail Sales for TD SYNNEX New Age Electronics, Eric Kirkendall, anticipates that “AI will be the dominant theme throughout” CES 2024. He added that a new category of PCs integrating AI-powered technology and solutions will be a hot-ticket item throughout the week.
“AI and AI-powered solutions are technologies that consumers are becoming more comfortable with, so integrating them into the tools consumers use on a daily basis is a big focus. Technology leaders like AMC and Intel are expected to make announcements about how they are partnering with original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, to bring these new PCs to market in the coming years.”
