LAS VEGAS- In 2024, the integration of significant language concepts and generative artificial intelligence into consumer goods will be more prominent than ever before, following the trends of the previous two years.
This week, all eyes are on Las Vegas, where thousands of engineers, business owners, dealmakers, and technology companies are converging for CES, a premier technology trade show in Nevada. The event serves as a platform for industry players to unveil their insights and forecasts for the future. While AI remains a central theme at the show, it is not the sole focus of discussions.
CES is a dynamic showcase of innovation, infused with optimism and ambitious promises. The sheer magnitude of technological advancements and market shifts expected in 2024 transcends the confines of the expansive show floor at Les.
Anticipated Technological Transformations in 2024:
Everyday Integration of Artificial Intelligence:
Major players like Intel and Qualcomm are in a race to develop mainstream PCs equipped with cutting-edge AI capabilities driven by specialized “neural processing units” (CPUs). Microsoft, aligning with this trend, has recently mandated the incorporation of a dedicated AI module on the keyboards of new Windows PCs to facilitate seamless access to the Copilot AI integrated into Windows 11.
While smartphones have long leveraged AI to enhance photography and audio quality, the upcoming wave of devices continues to push boundaries. Samsung, for instance, plans to unveil new products “powered by Artificial” immediately post-CES. However, the more intriguing developments come from emerging players reimagining the essence of an AI-centric device using conventional phone models.
California-based start-up Humane, backed by substantial funding, is on the brink of launching an AI-driven button that captures meeting insights and task data directly onto users’ fingertips. Another company, Rabbit, is showcasing a handheld device capable of executing intricate, multi-step voice commands beyond the capabilities of Siri and Alexa.
The lineup of AI-infused products slated for release in 2024 spans across diverse categories including automobiles, various forms of robotics, healthcare and lifestyle gadgets, and even energy-efficient bicycles, hinting at a promising future. The efficacy of these innovations remains to be seen, but the trajectory indicates a growing prevalence of AI-powered devices throughout the year and beyond.
