This year’s CES comes amid growing industry interest in agent AI, which Nvidia describes as the next frontier in AI. This technology represents a potentially major evolution in artificial intelligence, allowing AI systems to operate autonomously and perform tasks with minimal human intervention.
For example, agent-based AI systems can make decisions based on input data while automatically adapting to changing circumstances. Such systems could analyze patient data to help doctors make better-informed decisions, or analyze data from sensors to better predict wear on mechanical systems. There is a gender.
A recent example of agent AI is Google’s Project Mariner. It is an intelligent agent that can autonomously navigate and interact with various web services. This momentum is expected to accelerate, as Gartner predicts that by 2028, agent AI will be able to handle 15% of daily business decisions autonomously.

The automotive sector is also seeing notable developments in AI integration and interface design. LG’s upcoming “AI In-Vehicle Experience” will demonstrate new applications of artificial intelligence inside the vehicle cabin through its Vision AI solution. The system combines two main components: a driver monitoring system and a driver and interior monitoring system.
These technologies offer features such as real-time health monitoring with heart rate tracking and facial expression recognition, and the system can assess driver alertness while providing services such as adaptive routing and road condition updates. You can also. These developments may pave the way for advancements in vehicle safety and comfort features, but it is difficult to predict exactly when they will be incorporated into final production units.
Elsewhere, BMW has introduced a panoramic iDrive display, positioning it as a significant update to the standard vehicle interface. The system is set to debut in BMW’s upcoming Neue Klasse electric car, with a display that spans most of the width of the dashboard. By moving driver information to the heads-up display and eliminating the traditional iDrive controller, BMW is introducing a new approach to driver interaction.
More than just a concept, this new interface is set to debut on the second-generation iX3 in late 2025, the i3 sedan in 2026, and then expand across BMW’s lineup. The company plans to implement this technology in both electric and internal combustion engine vehicles in the future.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s opening keynote is expected to detail the next generation GeForce RTX 50 series graphics processors, while rival AMD prepares to introduce its RDNA 4 architecture. Recent developments in the budget gaming space, including Intel’s Arc B580 “Battlemage” GPU, also hint at potential advances in both performance and energy efficiency.
The integration of neural processing units and AI capabilities in consumer devices was a key theme at last year’s CES and is expected to continue to be a hot topic next year. The growing focus on on-device AI processing in laptops and smartphones shows that manufacturers are looking for ways to enhance the capabilities of their devices through dedicated AI hardware.

Display advancements tend to be a hot topic at CES, and this year is expected to be no exception. For example, TCL’s QD-Mini LED technology combines quantum dots and mini-LED technology to improve visual quality through pixel-level light control, increasing contrast and peak brightness. In practice, this could bring mini-LED TVs closer than ever to the contrast and true black levels of OLED sets, without the downsides like reduced brightness or burn-in concerns.
The company’s Nxtpaper display technology takes a different approach by using a multilayer screen design that includes circular polarization and nano-etching technology to create a paper-like viewing experience on smartphones and tablets, aimed at reducing eye fatigue. We are hiring. This technology includes features such as DC dimming to reduce flicker and automatic color temperature adjustment based on ambient light conditions.
Toward CES 2025
As CES 2025 prepares to take place from January 7th to 10th, the technology industry seems to be focused on practical innovation. Next week will reveal which of these expected trends will materialize into concrete announcements, as well as unexpected innovations that were not widely anticipated. We’ll soon see how these developments shape the year ahead in the consumer technology space, so stay tuned.
