Revolutionizing Innovation: AI Unleashes Its Ubiquity and Unstoppable Power

The AI Revolution at CES 2025: Separating Hypothesis from Hype

The omnipresent technology of artificial intelligence (AI) at this year’s CES 2025 has been just as impressive and overwhelming as the iconic Sphere. It’s a clarion call to attention from numerous tech companies, all promising to make AI the epicenter of your digital universe.

Unlike other CES trends – think VR and 3D TV – that are more marketing than substance, there’s some inescapable logic to the rise of AI. Its inherent power, versatility, and exponential growth make it a technology like no other we’ve encountered.

Companies like Delta, BMW, LG, Hisense, Samsung, and others have recognized that the data they’ve been collecting and moving between their once-disparate digital systems can be pulled together by AI into an organic whole that proactively operates at your behest.

Take Delta, for instance, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. With a century-long connection to our travel needs, they’ve gathered a treasure trove of data about what we do and what we do and that’s the lifeblood of powerful AI. That’s why a Delta concierge that ties it all together and proactively guides you through your journey makes sense.

Is AI too much to handle?

There is, of course, an element of oversell with companies like Hisense promising to "AI your life." I mean, they’re not necessarily wrong, but there might be a better way to phrase it. Samsung likes to say "AI for All," which is true but maybe too much like a rallying cry. LG offered "Affectionate Intelligence," which sounds nice but also creepy. AI has no real emotion – and I’d rather it didn’t try to fake affection.

Skeptics and cynics will have their say

I also saw some companies confusing proactivity with invasiveness. LG’s in-car AI solution seemed to be watching everything you do and would then offer suggestions related to your most minute emotional or physical prompts. No one wants to feel like they’re being watched. The good news is that customer distaste will quickly stamp out that kind of AI "innovation," and less weird and more helpful AI will take its place.

AI: The Future of Connected Living

AI is many things, but affectionate isn’t one of them. It’s a powerful tool that has the potential to revolutionize the way we live, work, and interact with one another. But for that to happen, we need to ensure that AI is transparent, responsible, and benefits all, not just a select few.

As I see it, the AI revolution at CES 2025 is about harnessing the power of technology to elevate our daily lives. It’s about helping us navigate the increasingly complex world we live in, and finding new ways to make our lives easier, more convenient, and more fulfilling.
