Overview

As CES 2026 ramps up in Las Vegas, early coverage frames the event as both a familiar gadget deluge and a showcase for how the industry wants to talk about “the future” right now—especially through AI. One roundup tracks the show’s cadence from press conferences to the public show floor, while a podcast recap highlights the mix of staples (TVs, smart home gear, accessories) and attention-grabbing demos like humanoid robots.
