The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026 has taken shape as a platform to showcase a new class of AI companions, beyond more innovative home appliances and advanced AI hardware. CES participants LG, Samsung, Nvidia, and more are locking in on putting AI tech in our homes, integrating AI in home appliances, devices, and other ways to make life easier.
