New Technology Announced at CES 2024

This year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) show held in Las Vegas this January and was as always, a showcase of the latest, innovative technological advances. There were over 4000 exhibitors and more than 130,000 attendees at the show this year, rising again after COVID-19 levels. The show included 1200 startups, a sure way for them to be able to network and give their company a platform in front of various global leaders in technology.

Included in the exhibitors were Amazon, Google, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, L’oreal and more in this closed-off event for businesses only. The CES is the world’s largest, audited Technology event that is held in person. The Independent emphasises the scale of networking being done here as any person at the show will have on average 29 different meetings a day for the duration of the show.

The themes this year

Each year there is something that businesses are directing their attention towards due to the demand from the public or because of what new technologies can do now. Here are some of the themes we see in the technology being created.

AI – In the last few years we have seen AI storm ahead and more and more companies directing their resources to creating new forms of generative AI.

Sustainability – There is no way of getting around this now and it is realised that green procedures align with the current needs of the public.

Health Care Solutions – The need to support the health care industry is undeniable and with technology, this could be done. There is an urgent need for assistance, the understaffed nurses and doctors, and the overflowing hospitals worsening over the last few years showed everyone that the healthcare industry is drowning so technology being created to help this isn’t only not surprising but perhaps, necessary too.

Home technology encouraging convenience – With new technology comes new ways to do things and homeware is not left out. We can turn our lights off by telling a machine to do it, hoover our floors by telling a machine to do it and 2024 will bring even more convenience to the home. With AI and ChatGPT doing it all for us the creators at CES this year have been able to take this even further.
