As the CES exhibition approaches, AI technology has once again become the focus.
This year, although AI is widely used in many devices, experts believe that many products merely treat AI as an additional feature rather than a core purpose. While we will see more AI-driven wearable devices, such as smart glasses and headphones, it remains questionable whether these devices can truly enhance user experience. Despite the widespread adoption of AI technology, the market demand for specialized AI hardware has not met expectations. Many startups are facing challenges in standing out in a landscape where AI has become a standard configuration. While large companies like Meta have successfully integrated AI with other functionalities in their smart glasses, smaller companies may struggle to survive in the competition.
In this context, privacy and security have become one of the competitive advantages for smaller manufacturers. Whether future AI devices can truly change people's lives still requires more validation through practical application scenarios.
