Artificial intelligence took over CES 2025

The 2025 Consumer Electronics Show – a nearly weeklong annual event that attracts 140,000+ hoodie- and- thong sandal- wearing attendees and 4,500+ company exhibitors (including big names like Google, Samsung, Toyota, etc.) – concluded this weekend.

AI was everywhere. From birdbaths to spice dispensers to TVs to wearables to home security systems to grills to handheld gaming consoles (you get the picture), artificial intelligence-driven product announcements abounded.

Nvidia also unveiled new desktop and laptop GPUs, powered by its new Blackwell AI chip (which led to a string of entertainment-related product announcements), while AMD showcased its latest gaming- and- content-creation-focused Ryzen 9 and AI series processors.

There were non-AI products, too. Yukai Engineering revealed a tiny robotic cat that can be mounted to a mug or bowl and will blow air in human-like intervals to help cool off coffee or soup. Japanese company Kirin Holdings demo’d an electronic spoon that makes food taste saltier. And for $1,500, anyone can purchase an iPad bundle that carries out a series of commands on their behalf after death (ex: “nuke browser history”).

👀 Looking ahead…Many of the announced products are years away from market (if they ever make it), but some are available now. Check ‘em out.
