STORYLINE:
CES, the Consumer Technology Association's annual show of all-things tech, is kicking off in Las Vegas this week.
The Consumer Technology Association bills CES as the world's largest audited tech event held in-person.

Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association, is expecting a bumper show this year.

"CES is going to be phenomenally big. It is 2.5 million net square feet of exhibit space, over 4,000 exhibitors, including over 1,200 startups," Shapiro said. "We expect to get around 130,000 people from around the world. More than one out of three from outside the United States. And the amount of innovation is going to be exceptional. "

The multi-day event, formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show, is set to feature swaths of the industry's latest advances and, more than ever, burgeoning uses of artificial intelligence.


"We've seen that artificial intelligence, especially with generative artificial intelligence in 2023, was like every headline," said Andrea Nepori, technology expert and analyst. "And now this year, we're going to see how companies are going to - let me use the term - milk that cow, because we're going to see if they can really take that and bring it to consumers as value in their products."
