Podcast Transcript
Jordan Wilson [00:00:17]:
From a personal computer that's more powerful than data centers were, like, a decade ago to an AI powered cat tower, CES was expectedly full of AI this year. So that's the Consumer Electronics Show or CES, and that's wrapping up this week in Las Vegas. So CES is the largest tech show in the world, which has slowly turned into the last, like, 2 or 3 years into the conference where we see kind of both amazing and absolutely unnecessary AI being unveiled. So today, we're gonna help you hopefully decide between what's absolutely noteworthy and necessary and might help you grow your company and career in the coming years, and what is just some kind of unnecessary AI infused tech garbage that could flop. Nothing against an AI cat tower. I might like that, actually. Alright, y'all. What's going on? My name is Jordan Wilson, and welcome to everyday AI.
Jordan Wilson [00:01:23]:
I'm excited to give you a quick recap, today of everything that's going on at CES. It's still wrapping up. But before we jump in and go over, I first have to give a shout out to our partners at Microsoft. So why should you listen to the WorkLab podcast for Microsoft? Because it's the place to find research backed insights to help guide your org's AI transformation. Tune in to learn how shifting your mindset can help you grasp the full potential of AI. That's worklab, no spaces available wherever you get your podcast. Alright. If you haven't already, if you don't know, this is everyday AI.
Jordan Wilson [00:02:05]:
We do this every day, every Monday through Friday anyways, both, you know, here on the podcast. So if you're listening, thank you so much, on Apple or Spotify. We have hundreds of episodes. Go check them out, but also go check out our website at your everydayai.com. There, you can sign up for the free daily newsletter. Each and every day, we do a email style recap of our show as well as keeping you up to date with literally everything else that you need to know in the world of AI. So most days, we do, the AI news. Today, we're not gonna do that because essentially what we're going over today, this is some of the biggest AI news anyways, but we will still have, some of those things, you know, like as an example, chip maker TSMC is posting record revenue.
Jordan Wilson [00:02:51]:
There's a new report on how AI is causing record job losses. There's a new standalone Grok app that's just being released and a lot more. So we'll have all the normal AI news you need in the newsletter. But enough with the chitchat, let us get straight into it. There is 100 of new AI products and services that were announced at CES. So I wanted to round them all up for you. This, like, admittedly, y'all, I I use a ton of AI to obviously, you know, plan for all my shows. Right? I'll use perplexity, you know, Google Deep Research, Chad GPT, Microsoft Copilot.
Jordan Wilson [00:03:31]:
I was using them all last night because there was literally so much coverage of CES. So many announcements. I'm a little tired, but that's why I got the, the the extra strong coffee. So we're gonna go rapid style. Alright. This one's gonna be a little fast, a little furious. Alright? But we're gonna hopefully, distinguish between what's good and what's not. Alright? Livestream audience, thank you for tuning in.
Jordan Wilson [00:04:02]:
Big Bogey and, and Mario on YouTube. Jackie joining us. She kinda wants the cat toy thing. I might as well. Rolando on, LinkedIn. We got UNC. Hey. I'm a big UNC fan.
Jordan Wilson [00:04:17]:
That's actually Unchained on YouTube. Alright. Let's go ahead and get to it. Live stream audience. Let me know as we go along what's good, what's not, what's flopping, what's hot. Alright. First, we're gonna I'm I'm breaking this up into some different categories because there's honestly too much to digest. So first, let's talk about the top 5 big companies.
Jordan Wilson [00:04:39]:
Alright. So the household names and obviously, CES. It is I I mean, historically, before the generative AI boom, it was a lot of those, like, household names of, like, appliances, stuff like that. Right? So, you know, we're gonna be covering some things that we normally wouldn't cover, but only if it's got a bunch of AI. Alright. So here's what I think are the top five biggest companies and their announcements. So NVIDIA. We're gonna be talking about a lot about NVIDIA, but NVIDIA had their RTX 50 series GPUs, released.
Jordan Wilson [00:05:13]:
So, 2 times more AI inference than their last generation of GPU as well as a new simplified GB 10 super chip. So that is the, the Grace Blackwell chip. So this thing, the the baseline GPU, 50, I think, 50505070 starts at $549. The RTX, like, if you don't know anything about GPUs, it's actually so cheap for how powerful it is. Right? Yeah. There's there's versions that cost, you know, 1,000 more dollars, but this is massive. So the 92,000,000,000 transistors inside, yeah, represent a massive engineering, achievement that puts NVIDIA literally light years ahead of their competitors. We're gonna be getting to more, NVIDIA.
Jordan Wilson [00:06:02]:
You know, so their CEO, Jensen Huang, actually keynoted, CES technically the night before, everything else opened. So I also don't know how is NVIDIA announcing so many huge things, at the Consumer Electronics Show, but then they have their own GTC conference in, like, 3 months, and they're going to announce, you know, I mean, what they announced at c s on honestly, like, that's more than most companies would announce in 5 to 10 years, and then they're gonna do it all again in like 3 months. So I'm personally excited to see what else can they possibly announce, in, like, 3 months. But I guess when you are a, you know, $3,000,000,000,000 market cap company, you can, you know, churn out, years worth of updates in a couple of months. So, also, we saw updates to the Cosmos platform, including their 1st world foundation model for understanding physical environments. And they did announce that the code will be available on GitHub as well as open source for that world foundational model, on Cosmos. So and let's just skip to what I think is the best thing that NVIDIA announced. Right? We got other companies here, but the new digits.
Jordan Wilson [00:07:16]:
Alright. So this is essentially, a supercomputer that is a personal computer. Alright? This thing is, what NVIDIA said is, a 1000 times more powerful than the, you know, average, computer that's available right now. We already covered it a little bit, on the AI news earlier in the week, but it is, small, but it is freaking powerful. This is a supercomputer. This is in it's pricey. It's $3,000. Right? And this isn't so, you know, you you know, your your son or your aunt, can, you know, scroll Facebook faster.
Jordan Wilson [00:07:55]:
That's not what this is for. This is for if you're doing, heavy, if if if you're a AI researcher, this is the computer you're probably going to be buying, project digits. And I don't think that anyone else anytime soon will be able to put out anything like this remotely close in price. So, if you are an AI researcher, if you're trying to run, you know, as many AI models as you can at home locally. Edge AI. Right? That's what this thing's all about. It's if you are trying to run, huge on device AI. So, you know, they did say by chaining 2 of these bad boys together, you'll be able to run as an example, 405,000,000,000 parameter models like llama 405 b.
Jordan Wilson [00:08:39]:
Right? But to think that you could run that on a personal computer doesn't make much sense. Right? Doesn't make much sense. I think even, you know, my, computers can't even run the, 8 b, in in 7 b models. Right? I gotta run some of the smaller ones because my computers will struggle a little bit. So what NVIDIA just announced with Project Digits? Mind blowing. Right? Are they gonna sell millions of them? Absolutely not. Is it a literal, feat of engineering? Yeah. It is.
Jordan Wilson [00:09:14]:
Is that right? It's nuts. So, it obviously runs the complete NVIDIA AI framework, and they are targeting, kind of those machine learning researchers and smaller enterprises that do wanna run, you know, edge AI locally. So, yeah, $3,000. I mean, let's be honest. I mean, previously, you know, if we're talking 10, 10, 20 years ago, getting that kind of, compute that's now in a personal computer would be tens of 1,000,000 or 100 of 1,000,000 of dollars. Right? Makes no sense. Right? If you're listening on the podcast, I'm just shaking my head. Either the coffee hasn't kicked in.
Jordan Wilson [00:09:57]:
I mean, I've looked at this project digits since it came out. I'm trying to figure out a reason why I need to spend $3,000 on one. So, NVIDIA, I know I got some some a couple of friends there. You know, if you feel so inclined, to ship me over a project digits, computer, I will do a review on it. But it's it's mind boggling. Alright. Alright. So let's let's move on.
Jordan Wilson [00:10:17]:
We're actually gonna get some more NVIDIA later because they did announce a lot of other things. But, next, Samsung. So like I said, a lot of things, at CES. It's your typical, you know, appliance companies. So I know we don't normally cover the Samsungs and LGs of the world, but we are today. So Samsung, had updates to their SmartThings Pro, for business environments, and this is kind of some AI powered solutions for hotels, offices, commercial buildings, as well as some new b to b, solutions for operational efficiency. So, this is, a big play for Samsung going after enterprise, customers and commercial buildings. Alright? So they also have their Vision AI, which I think is, I don't know.
Jordan Wilson [00:11:05]:
This is one of those I can't even decide if it's exciting or unnecessary. Right? But they're essentially partnering with Microsoft to shove Microsoft Copilot into their 2025 smart TV models. I don't know y'all. Do we need, like, Copilot in our TV? I mean, the same thing. Do I need ChatGPT in my TV? I don't know. I see some fringe use cases. Even someone, like, alright. I have an older TV.
Jordan Wilson [00:11:33]:
It probably needs updated. Right? Do I need a TV with Copilot or ChatGPT even though I love Copilot and ChatGPT? I don't know. Is that just me? Like, there's there's a certain part of my brain. Maybe it's because I have a daily AI podcast and, you know, I I talk and read about AI so much. Like, I have to, like, stop at some points. Right? It's it's it's actually funny like, you know, my wife will be, you know, listening, you know, to the podcast. Right? She's like, oh, you know, I didn't, you know, listen to it all today, you know, at night. And I'm like, no.
Jordan Wilson [00:12:05]:
Shut it off. Like like, there's a certain point after spending 10 to 12 hours a day. I'm like, no. No more. Right? So do I need Copilot in a TV? I don't know. Maybe maybe other people do. I don't know if I personally do. But let but we still have the new Vision AI, launch there from from Samsung.
Jordan Wilson [00:12:26]:
Because I'm sure a ton of people are actually going to want it. They also, Samsung launched their, AI for all campaign focusing on everyday AI integration. Not everyday AI, but just AI in everyday applications. Alright. They also have some new AI hybrid cooling technology for refrigerators. Yeah. Well, I mean, we're at the point now where everything's just AI powered this. Right? And any appliance, you know, just, it's it's like the old Flex Seal, you know, commercials where they just slap Flex Seal on a boat that has a leak and, you know, they're like, oh, your boat's awesome now.
Jordan Wilson [00:13:00]:
You know? So now everyone's just slapping AI on something. You know? Oh, look. These, you know, scissors have AI on them now to help you cut in straighter lines. And now the scissors go from a dollar 99 to a $199. Right? It's like, I don't know. Do we need that? Alright. LG. Yeah.
Jordan Wilson [00:13:19]:
I told you we got a lot of these brands we normally wouldn't talk too much about. So they showcase their immersive brand, at CES. They're trying to integrate more AI into physical living spaces across the home, mobility, and commercial environments. So not sure if anything from LG is worth batting my eyes at. But they did have their new Furon AI agent, which provides personalized environmental adjustments based on user behavior. There's some proactive health monitoring and system suggestions in there, and it also integrates with LG smart home ecosystem for seamless automation. So, yeah, if if you're a big, you know, LG smart home aficionado, now there's an AI agent called the Furon, that helps you tweak all those, home automation things, make it better. Alright.
Jordan Wilson [00:14:16]:
Google. Yeah. There's Google announcements even after they went straight up nutty in December, with all their Gemini announcements, but now they're bringing Gemini AI assistance to TVs. Alright. So they'll begin rolling those out in select Google TV devices in late 2025. So this just enables Gemini conversation for your TV for content discovery. So I don't know. Maybe there's some use case for these now that I think about it.
Jordan Wilson [00:14:43]:
Right? Versus I don't know. I don't think they demoed this, but instead of scrolling Netflix for 45 minutes when you only have an hour to watch Netflix. Right? Anyone else? Is that just me? Livestream audience, can can can you tell me does anyone else, like, say you have an hour to, like, watch a show or something and you just spend 45 minutes, like, scrolling through there. And you're like, why are there so many, like, random sci fi thrillers based in Utopian future. Right? I just need 1, not 300 of them. You know, 300 that are c pluses. Give me one a minus. I'll be happy.
Jordan Wilson [00:15:22]:
Maybe maybe that's only me. I don't know. So yeah. Carrie, Carrie, shout out all my Chicago people in the house. Former guest Carrie Sullivan says, I think what you're seeing as weird with Copilot in TVs, etcetera, pushing GenAI models like a consumer product doesn't make sense. Yeah. I I get it as well. Right? If you're trying to push that as the hardware piece, but, yeah, you know, obviously, on the software side.
Jordan Wilson [00:15:47]:
At first, even when I'm saying it out loud and researching it, I'm like, I don't know. I need Copilot or Gemini in my TV, but then I'm also like, oh, well, I don't know if it's gonna help me on the software side, not have to spend so long trying to find a TV program to watch. Sure. I said TV program. Apparently I'm 90 now. Alright, cool. So you can also, remove Hey Google wake words wake words. Alright, so it's not gonna trigger all the time.
Jordan Wilson [00:16:15]:
Like if you have 20 smart devices, you can opt out of that one. So Microsoft. Alright. We're getting all the big tech companies here. So Microsoft, they and I'm some new AI agents. Yeah. But not for, you know, your computer necessarily, but for, other physical environment. So they introduced 6 new, what they're called, reference reference architecture agents, for different physical spaces.
Jordan Wilson [00:16:44]:
So as an example, for automotive and mobility, use cases, and that includes frameworks for autonomous vehicle operations and digital cockpits, as well as they partnered, with other companies. They announced, Microsoft announced some other partnerships with PTC, Siemens, NVIDIA for implementation, of those new 6, reference architecture agents for automotive and mobility. Alright. Let's get on to AI agents. Right? Kind of a nice transition there. So NVIDIA, I said we'd be talking about them more. I'm gonna go a little faster here because we're this I don't want this to turn into, like, a 4 hour show. Alright.
Jordan Wilson [00:17:24]:
So, we have platforms that were updated like Cosmos and Nemotron, models kind of leading the way to help others create advanced AI agents. So CEO Jensen Wong described AI agents as the quote, unquote, next wave in AI evolution, moving away from perception to and digital to actually physical, right, embodied AI. So, the Accenture Group. So Accenture, pretty exciting here. They announced the AI refinery for industry. So that essentially streamlines tasks, analyzes data, and enhances business efficiency. So they're launching with 12 initial industry agent solutions. So I do see this as a trend.
Jordan Wilson [00:18:14]:
Right? And, actually, I said this a very long time ago. Right? When all of the management consulting companies, you know, started banning ChatGPT and they're like, oh, you know, this thing's a fad. No. I'm like, you're all gonna use it, and you're gonna have to use generative AI and large language models top to bottom or you're gonna start losing business or going out of business. So it's no surprise, you know, two and a half, 3 years later after the ChatGPT movement, all the big management cons, consulting companies are going all in on large language models in their next iteration in agents. So they are, Accenture's launching with 12 initial industry agent solutions, and they're expanding to over a 100. So pretty interesting move, here from Accenture with their AI refinery. Alright.
Jordan Wilson [00:18:59]:
Also, they partnered with NVIDIA for enterprise AI systems. Microsoft, like we talked about, they have theirs for autonomous vehicle and connected, mobility as well as new Azure Innovation Accelerator AI agents. Alright. LG, we already kind of referenced, but wrapping it all up here with their Furon AI agents, to improve interactions with their, AI enabled products, their hardware. Then we have Qualcomm, AI chatbots to enhance device control and human machine interactions. So they also showcase their home service robots. Alright. So there's the agent roundup.
Jordan Wilson [00:19:41]:
Again, this these aren't what was announced at CES. It's not as much software. It's more AI powered or AI enabled hardware. You know, like I said, some of these agentic capabilities are for certain industry, you know, automotive, transportation, mobility, health care. I mean, there are so many. The other thing, I'll probably share some, in the newsletter today, a link. There's so many, like, cool, threads, you know, on, you know, Twitter as an example that shows short little clips of a lot of this, you know, AI powered hardware in action. And a little harder to, you know, show all those on the podcast, but I'll make sure to share, some of those best roundups in the newsletter today.
Jordan Wilson [00:20:22]:
Alright. Now we're gonna go even faster. We're going to the 5, new or updated technologies with the most potential. I've already talked about NVIDIA Cosmos, but I have to mention it again. So, this is their world model, and world models are going to be huge. So this does enable, to, those people to generate massive amounts of photoreal physics based synthetic data to train AI models. Alright. These world models, right now, there is a lack of essentially data.
Jordan Wilson [00:20:58]:
Like, we've already scraped everything on the Internet and more. Right? So we need these essentially AI models, right, to start creating new synthetic data for us to better understand the real world. Right? There was a lot of rumors, right, when Sora, OpenAI's, and Sora first came out, and everyone's like, yo. This seems like this was just trained on a bunch of YouTube videos and video games. So, you know, a big move now is these more, these world models. So then AI can move from the computer, right, to the real world. So, think of it like this. We have AI that now works on our computers and, you you know, all of our different software applications because it was essentially scraped and trained on those things, our software applications and the Internet.
Jordan Wilson [00:21:45]:
Right? So now, you know, the biggest tech companies, I mean, they've known for a while, but now they're creating and releasing these AI world models because they realize, hey. You know, aside from, you know, all those, you know, Google, you know, Street View cars that have gone around. Right? But there's a lack of just overall quantifiable structured data on how the world works. That's why some of these early as an example, you know, AI, video mile models struggled because they didn't understand real world physics. Right? That's why we still haven't, you know, seen fully autonomous, fully self driving vehicles yet because, you know, aside from Tesla, which is a leader in collecting this data, there's just not enough real world data. Right? There's, you know, if you wanna Google something, you know, niche, like, you know, I don't know, best Tumblr for, you know, keeping your drink cold, there's probably 100 of thousands of sources on the web. Right? But there's not, that same reflective amount of data, available for real world. So NVIDIA Cosmos, huge.
Jordan Wilson [00:22:51]:
AI like AI powered smart homes, you know, so much, that was announced there. The RTX neural shaders and neural faces technology. We also saw a lot for AI for creative, work as well. So AG's, or sorry, LG's a 11, AI processor enabled, personalized content curation and viewing experiences. So I think that's some technology with a lot of big potential, just for personalized content curation. I think that's huge because we're being overwhelmed by AI content. So obviously, we need AI to help us curate it all. Right? You know, AI powered smart homes.
Jordan Wilson [00:23:33]:
There's so much out of CES with that. So Samsung's updated map view, it uses generative AI for furniture arrangement and 3 d space design. You know, all the new There's always so many cool new vacuums. Right? All those smart robot vacuums. You know, they're born at CES. Right? So we saw the new roborock, z70. It featured this one I'd liked. I saw this video.
Jordan Wilson [00:23:59]:
I'm like, alright. I don't need to spend money on this. Is it cool? I don't know. Is it Or sorry. Is it useful? Maybe. Maybe not. But is it cool? Yeah. So this has a, you know, using a ton of, you know, vision AI and other types of AI.
Jordan Wilson [00:24:13]:
It uses a robotic arm that can pick up and move small objects. Right? So, that one I thought was was pretty interesting because you always think with these, you know, you know, these smart, you know, robots that vacuum your home. You're always like, okay. Well, I gotta pick up my house before the vacuum can vacuum. Right? It's like if you, you know, you gotta clean your house before your house cleaner comes, you know. So, yeah, the the robot vacuum goes around and picks up things off the floor before it vacuums and does its job. Alright. So AI in cars, some other, technology that obviously has a ton of potential.
Jordan Wilson [00:24:50]:
So we saw Honda's ASMO OS providing personalized optimization for their upcoming zero series electronic vehicles. BMW's new iDrive system with AI powered voice control, panoramic display, Hyundai's Mobus, unveiled holographic windshield display with a Zeiss optics glass. Yeah. Zeiss is is is it Zeiss or Zeiss? I should know. I used to have some of those lenses for my camera. Speaking of AI in cars, we saw LG's vision AI mobility concept tracked, concept, and that tracked driver's health stress levels and attention. I don't know if I necessarily want that in my car. Right? For it to be tracking my health and stress levels.
Jordan Wilson [00:25:36]:
I don't know. Maybe my attention span, sure, to make sure I'm not falling asleep. I don't I don't know if I want my my car to be telling me to, you know, get my cholesterol checked. Right? I don't know. At a certain point, parts of these things are really cool. Parts of them, I'm like, alright. We absolutely probably don't need that. So many AI powered health devices.
Jordan Wilson [00:25:57]:
So, you you know, Withings, cardio, face hearts, cardio, mirror. Right? This this mirror, AI mirror that, like, scans your whole body, in 45 seconds, you know, so it can tell you how much you need to go to the gym. I think a regular scale could do that. We saw, Holmes Holmes AI, platform that can identify 21 different cardiac arrhythmias. I didn't know there are that many types of heart arrhythmias. Alright? Yeah. So many smart mirrors, all that good stuff. So, we got more.
Jordan Wilson [00:26:32]:
Don't worry. 1st, I gotta take a a sip of my coffee. And also quickly shout out our partners from Microsoft. So, why should you listen to the WorkLab podcast from Microsoft? Because it tackles your burning questions about AI at work. How can I guide my org's AI transformation? How can AI help maximize value and create new products and business models? And what mindset shift do we need to make if we want to tap into its full potential? Find the answers on work lab. That's worklab. No spaces. Available wherever you get your podcast.
Jordan Wilson [00:27:10]:
Alright. Uh-huh. Yeah. Big big bogey face saying, yeah. Tell me you won't be distracted by the passenger next to you playing Xbox. Yeah. What happens with all you you know, you you have all these, you know, smart windshields in your car and, yes, someone, you know, passenger just uses it for, in different different purposes. Carrie is saying 80% of people aren't going to change their behavior even if the tech is shoved down their throat.
Jordan Wilson [00:27:37]:
Yeah. I agree. If I spend, I don't know, $1,000 on an AI powered smart scale, is that gonna make me more likely to go to the gym? I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. I'm gonna say probably not. Alright. Let's talk about some announcements that we're focusing on language models. So we did already talk about the Nemotron AI models.
Jordan Wilson [00:27:59]:
This is from NVIDIA. This is based on llamas open ish source llama models. Yeah. So, I'm excited to see, more benchmarks on this because NVIDIA's, original Nemo Tron models. So these are essentially tuned versions of the open source meta models outperformed Meta's own llama models. So, I'm excited. It's actually I think the the Ultra 253 b, that could be a beast. So I'm excited, to wait to see once we have more benchmarks on that.
Jordan Wilson [00:28:31]:
That's one keeping an eye on. Like we talked about, a lot of different, Gemini assistance, for AITV. We saw Samsung's Vision AI that had, you know, live translate. So when you're watching TV, okay, that's that's pretty cool. Right? If if the captions are, you you know, closed closed captions, subtitles aren't available, for it to be able to do that through live TV. Alright. That's pretty cool. You also Samsung, their, click to search, which they have on their smartphones coming to smart TVs as well.
Jordan Wilson [00:29:08]:
HERE Technologies, AI assistant. So this uses multiple generative AI large language models for natural powered, natural language powered location aware guidance. So this is for, vehicles, and it enhances, driver safety, route optimization, and it's gonna launch in 2025. Qualcomm, we talked about AI chatbots for appliances. Right? Yeah. So, now they're not just being made by the makers of the appliances, but big giant corporations like Qualcomm are, creating AI chatbots that other, you know, hardware companies can shove into their devices. So, can't wait for my computer mouse to talk to me. That's a joke.
Jordan Wilson [00:29:56]:
I don't know. I don't so many of these things, I don't want a smart AI powered washer and dryer. Right? I've if you follow the show or the newsletter closely, I'm always compare like, I'm always complaining about my appliances. I don't know why. All my appliances in my house just decided to give up, over the last, like, you know, 6 months, like, all of them at the same time. Right? So I'm I'm going and looking at all these things, and this is like, I don't want AI in my washer and dryer. To be honest, I want a washer and dryer that was made in 19 seventies because those things could go through, like, a nuclear apocalypse. Like, those things were tanks.
Jordan Wilson [00:30:38]:
That's what I want. Right? I don't want something with 300 sensors because it breaks 300 times a day. I don't know. Maybe that's me. Maybe I'm getting old and grumpy. Alright. Alright. Let's move on to stuff that maybe is gonna flop.
Jordan Wilson [00:30:56]:
Alright. Maybe. So every year, there's all these AI announcements and, you know, keep this in mind. Just because companies announce these things, obviously, doesn't mean that they're going to come out in 2025. Right? So many of these things, I was trying to do an actual percentage last night, you know, using, like, Google deep research from 2024. Like what percentage of things that were announced actually came out, but there's hundreds of new product announcements, and it's too much. But I'll say this, a large majority of things that are announced at CES either don't come out, or I won't say a large majority, but I will say a big chunk either do not come out, or they come out into little fanfare. Right? So initially, there a lot of these things might be hyped, and then they flop.
Jordan Wilson [00:31:43]:
Alright. So let's talk about things that maybe these were a little too much. Maybe these things are gonna flop, or maybe the companies are just gonna realize there's not enough, interest in them. The LG Aero Cat Tower. Confession. I'm a cat guy. I like cats. Alright.
Jordan Wilson [00:32:04]:
But I don't know if I need this. So it functions as both an air pure uses AI to function as an air purifier and a heated cat perch and weight with weight monitoring capabilities. What kind of boujee cats are we raising now? Right? Imagine if if your cat was was such a snob, you got them a regular cat tree, and they're like, nah, bro. Where's all the AI? Right? I need an air purifier, a heated perch, and I need weight monitoring. I don't know. I don't I don't. And it also tracks your cat's sleep patterns and weight data. Oh, I'm sorry.
Jordan Wilson [00:32:45]:
Yeah. I mean, would I like to get this from my cat? Maybe. But I don't I don't know. This is too much LG. Alright. Samsung. Yeah. Their bespoke AI washing machines.
Jordan Wilson [00:32:58]:
So, their new washing machine jammed with probably too much AI has a 7 inch LCD touchscreen. Why do we need a bigger touchscreen in a washing machine than, like, a smartphone? Why can't you just if if you need a smart AI touch I don't know. A 7 inch LCD touchscreen for your washer? I don't like, talk about, like, your maintenance and repair bills going through the roof. Right? Now you have an expensive touchscreen that's probably gonna break all the time. Because you know what really never breaks? Smart washers. That's you know, they break all the time. And then let's let's throw another, 7 inch LCD touchscreen. I don't know.
Jordan Wilson [00:33:43]:
I'm out. Yeah. You know, AI driven washing and drying cycles based on fabric type, you know, no. I'm out. Live stream audience, am am am I just old and tired and grumpy? Like, do do you all want AI powered refrigerators and and washer and dryers and, cat perches? I don't know. So there's also the new LG AI Home inside their, you know, 2 point o refrigerator. Is that what it's called? The LG AI Home inside 2 point o refrigerator. So this was deemed by privacy advocates according to reports as the worst overall product due to privacy concerns about software, you know, monitoring your every move, and the energy consumption of this thing.
Jordan Wilson [00:34:31]:
So, this had AI powered food management capabilities with built in cameras and OLED display panel that shows hologram like visuals, and it offers curated music playlist. Yeah. I don't know. So if you have too much leftover Chinese and and pizza, does it start playing like workout music to get you pumped up? To be like, don't eat that. Don't eat that, you know, Todorisis pizza for the 5th time this week, Jordan. Here's the rocky theme song. Alright. We also had the Bosch Reval crib.
Jordan Wilson [00:35:12]:
Alright. Yeah. An AI powered crib. So it uses millimeter wave radar sensors to measure the baby's heart rate and respiration, features environmental monitoring, including temperature, humidity, and air quality sensors, AI enabled detections of objects near baby's face, and it's expected to launch in China first with US release plan for 2026 and only $1200 for the Bosch Reebel Smart Crib. I don't know. If you're worried about something falling on your baby's face, maybe don't shove a bunch of AI sensors right around the baby's crib. I don't know. That's just me.
Jordan Wilson [00:35:56]:
Alright. Next, some AI announcements that probably didn't need and might flop. So next is the Nekohita fufu. I don't know if that's how it's pronounced. Probably not. So this can cool hot water from 88 Celsius to 71 Celsius in 3 minutes. Alright? It features different blowing modes, and attaches to any dishware with straight edges. I don't I don't even know what half of these things are.
Jordan Wilson [00:36:34]:
So, yeah, it's an AI controlled, thing to cool hot water. I don't I don't know. It uses an algorithm to randomize blowing strength for cooling drinks. Don't need it. Alright. Let's let's round up, you know, hey, doctor Harvey Castro joining us from CES. Yeah. Harvey, let us know if there's anything we missed.
Jordan Wilson [00:37:02]:
Love this. Marie says, cats sleep roughly 18 hours a day. Nothing to monitor there. Yeah. That's funny. Alright. Here's the the rest of our noteworthy AI announcements that didn't really fit well in any of the other categories I decided to make. Ready? So Intel, they launched their new Intel Core Ultra 200 v series mobile processors.
Jordan Wilson [00:37:29]:
They introduced new adaptive control unit designed specifically for electric vehicle, powertrains. They demonstrated their AI playground, for local GenAI workloads. I did try that out also at the, Microsoft Ignite conference. Pretty cool. AMD. So, yeah, a lot of other big players, in the space. They unveiled some of their new processors. Obviously, they got overshadowed by NVIDIA.
Jordan Wilson [00:37:54]:
Man, I'd hate to be working at big companies that are announcing, like, GPUs because, you know, you have thousands of people working tirelessly to catch NVIDIA. And you're like, oh, here's our new GPU chip. And then, I don't know, like, NVIDIA's just, you know, trumps over, like, everything else. Right? It's like you you roll out, you know, I'll use, like, a nineties basketball reference. Right? You roll out some good players on the court. You're like, yeah. We feel good about this. And then NVIDIA comes out with 400 Michael Jordan clones, and you're like, oh, well, there goes that.
Jordan Wilson [00:38:30]:
Alright. But, yeah, NVIDIA unveiled some of their new, processors, their Ryzen 9959100, processors. They released their AI, their Ryzen AI Max series Processors, with 16 CPU cores and 50 trillion operations per second. So 50 TOPS AI processing. They also, AMD announced a strategic partnership with Dell. Let's go to Asus. They introduced their Zenbook a 14, which is the world's lightest copilot plus PC. Alright.
Jordan Wilson [00:39:08]:
So, I thought we were gonna get more Copilot plus PC announcements, but we did get the Zenbook a 14 from Asus. So if you are looking, for the power of a Copilot plus CD, I act or plus PC. I I actually just bought one. I still gotta go through and set it up. But if you want one even smaller and thinner, Asus ZenBook to the rescue. CyberLink demonstrated in on device text and image generation capabilities. Perfectcore. Yeah.
Jordan Wilson [00:39:39]:
We have the CEO of Perfectcore, actually on the show a couple of months ago. They launched Perfect GPT, a proprietary AI assistant for beauty and skin care advice. They introduced AI hair solutions with color try on and hair type analysis features, and they released YouCam online editor with AI portrait generators and hairstyle try ons. You know what? Before I talked with their CEO and knew about their product, if I would have seen this last year, I would have been like, I don't know if you need it. But I actually know about it, and it's actually pretty cool. Alright. That's a wrap y'all. I I I think we covered enough, artificial intelligence tech, this year at CES.
Jordan Wilson [00:40:23]:
That was a ton. So, maybe you joined halfway through on the livestream. Maybe you listen to the podcast and you already forgot a bunch, and you're like, wait. What was that AI?

We'd appreciate that, as well as a rating. Yeah. I know I talk a lot. I go on and on, but I don't know. I think a lot of the other podcasts out there I mean, even the big people, they use just AI voices to to bring you podcasts covering AI news. I'm a sleepy tired human. Right? Because I think that you still need some human in the loop. Maybe one chuckle.
Jordan Wilson [00:41:16]:
I don't know. Maybe no chuckles, but if you appreciate the podcast, let me know. Also, check out your show notes. I always keep, my LinkedIn URL. You know, go connect with me.
