CES is often called the "Spring Festival Gala of the tech world" by many, but it should be better understood as a chaotic yet vibrant "future draft box."

What is the most obvious signal this year? AI is no longer confined to screens; it is officially beginning to take over the real world.

In terms of data, the number of exhibitors at the exhibition has surpassed 4,100, with an expected audience of over 150,000. It may seem like just a numerical increase, but the underlying changes are more worth noting — almost all categories of hardware products are embracing AI. From breathing smart pets to smart mirrors that can predict health conditions for the next 20 years, these products are not just conceptual hype but real, tangible applications.

AI is penetrating the physical world through these hardware terminals, learning from real scenarios, and influencing users' daily decisions. This is not marketing rhetoric but a collective industry consensus — AI being ubiquitous is no longer science fiction but a reality happening now.

In the long run, the integration of AI and hardware is an inevitable trend. It means artificial intelligence evolving from virtual assistants into genuine participants, beginning to impact every aspect of our lives. What does this mean for the entire tech ecosystem? You can interpret it yourself.
