Artificial Intelligence Everywhere
Las Vegasㅡ The development of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming user experiences across various sectors. Physical robots with AI capabilities, AI-equipped chips, hardware, and software are already prevalent or soon to be utilized in diverse industrial markets. Next-generation AI technologies across fields are anticipated to be a highlight at CES 2024 on January 9-12 in Las Vegas. As consumer awareness of AI grows, the overall perception is optimistic, with many viewing AI as innovative, futuristic, intelligent, helpful, and efficient. Concerns exist, but the majority of consumers express a positive attitude, seeing AI as a valuable tool for routine activities. The balanced application and development of AI technology are expected to be long-term topics, with the role of legislative bodies in controlling AI applications being a point of consideration.
Mobility
The field of "vehicle technology" continues to advance on land, water, and even in the sky. The "mobility" sector, which encompasses comprehensive transportation technologies, aligns with the "electrification" and "automation" trends. CES, historically a platform for the debut of breakthrough technologies, has showcased innovations such as the BMW i3" and the Bell Nexus" electric air taxi concept. The upcoming CES 2024 is expected to spotlight future mobility technologies for safer roads, with advanced features such as adaptive cruise control, collision prevention, and lane guidance. Beyond road vehicle technology, CES 2024 will also showcase advanced air and sea mobility technologies, with companies such as "Supernal" and "AeroHT" showcasing futuristic flying car concepts. Meanwhile, recreational boat manufacturers like "Brunswick" and marine engine manufacturer "Volvo Penta" plan to showcase next-generation marine mobility technologies with a focus on sustainability.
Digital Health
The field of digital health encompasses terms such as mobile health, health IT, wearable devices, telehealth, telemedicine, and personalized medicine. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased health awareness, leading to widespread adoption of digital health technologies by consumers and medical professionals alike. The integration of AI into digital health is expected to become more prominent in 2024, accelerating the development of personalized treatments and alleviating burnout among medical professionals. Consumers are expressing growing interest in AI-based digital health solutions, anticipating improvements in overall well-being. CES 2024 exhibitors, including 3M, Siemens and Jackery, are poised to unveil technology innovations in sustainable areas such as artificial biology, solid-state batteries and key resource recycling technologies.
Sustainability in technology
Sustainability is a key focus in technology development, particularly in areas such as electrification, experimentation, and acceleration. Electrification builds clean energy and product infrastructure, Experimental Activities includes investments in technologies such as carbon capture and green hydrogen, and Acceleration emphasizes renewable energy projects such as wind and solar power.
