Some of the Biggest and Most Surprising AI News From the CES Tech Show

• CES, the major technology trade show in the US, is in full swing this week.
• Product announcements and demos offer a glimpse into how some companies are trying to use AI.
• Here’s some AI news from CES that caught our attention.

Technically, CES 2025 hasn’t even started yet, but announcements and demonstrations of artificial intelligence products are already piling up.

The largest technology trade show in the US, officially known as the Consumer Electronics Show, kicks off on Tuesday but has already led to news of artificial intelligence being integrated into TVs, grills and even bird feeders.

Not everything companies talk about at CES ends up making it to market, but these announcements show that many applications of artificial intelligence companies are studying the situation after the technology explodes in popularity in 2024.

Here are some of the biggest, baddest, and weirdest we’ve ever seen.

TVs

Samsung and LG bring AI assistant Microsoft Copilot on some of their smart TVs.

Samsung’s artificial intelligence offerings include Click to Search, which can help identify an actor on screen, and Live Translate, which provides real-time translation of subtitles.

LG says its latest OLED TVs are equipped with artificial intelligence features that adapt sound and picture settings to user preferences. The AI ​​also greets users by name, and AI Voice ID can recognize users’ voices, switch between profiles, and recommend what to watch.

LG says Copilot “further simplifies the process, allowing users to efficiently find and organize complex information using contextual clues.”

Greeley

This This is not your grandpa’s grill. Electric wood pellet smoker Zelos 450 from the startup Brisk. The grilling process uses generative AI (and Wi-Fi connectivity). Grillers can adjust settings remotely, receive updates from their chefs, and receive action reminders.

Bird feeders

Bird watching goes high-tech with the Birdfy Feeder 2 Duo, which can capture bird visitors in slow motion and high-definition video. The companion app provides real-time notifications when a bird stops and uses artificial intelligence to help identify and catalog different species.

Vacuum cleaners

Saros Z70 from Roborock robot vacuum cleaner has an extendable arm that can help with cleaning by picking up items and returning them to their rightful place.

It can’t lift anything heavy and can only help with a few items, like socks, but the company plans to add more items to the robot’s visual inventory in the future.

Refrigerators

LG wants its newest smart refrigerators to not only tell you what food is inside, but also help you order more of what’s available. No there’s more in them.

The new French Door refrigerator with ThinQ technology features a built-in AI camera that recognizes the food inside, suggests recipes based on what you have on hand, and tracks expiration dates.

Samsung offers a similar offering in its Bespoke refrigerators in partnership with instacart on same-day grocery delivery for items he notices you’re running low on.

Home Security Cameras

Kami says its Fall Detect camera can detect falls with 99.5% accuracy, identifying patterns that might cause someone to trip, and that it can detect falls even if the person’s body is partially hidden from view.

It can send notifications to family members and caregivers or help call for emergency help after a fall.

Monitors

The new Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED monitor uses an under-display camera that tracks the position of your head and adjusts the placement of sounds coming from five speakers so they reach your ears.
