The new edition of the largest tech event was held in Las Vegas. Thousands of major companies showcased their ideas and advancements.

A new edition of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) took place in Las Vegas. The traditional tech industry event, where the innovations to be implemented in the upcoming year are presented, had Artificial Intelligence as the main star.

This event had its first edition in New York in 1967 and is organized by CTA, the Consumer Technology Association, a group that brings together nearly 1,400 tech companies in the United States. Some of its editions have presented great innovations such as 4K TVs or the first Xbox in 2001.

Among the tech presentations, LG Electronics grabbed attention when it announced that it would partner with Microsoft to use the latter’s AI in its consumer electronics products.

Both companies plan to collaborate on developing AI agents for various spaces that currently don’t have them, such as homes, hotels, offices, and vehicles. While LG has already collaborated with Microsoft on voice recognition and speech synthesis technologies, this would go further.

The goal is for the upcoming AI agents to surpass customer interaction and understanding through identifying their needs and preferences.

Televisions running the Google TV operating system will receive an update that will include the Gemini AI from the company. Additionally, it will feature a voice control system, Google Assistant.

They also announced that the software update will add more natural voice commands, improved content search, and deeper integration with the Google search engine and the YouTube video platform.
According to reports, this update will be launched by the end of 2025 and will allow users to have two-way conversations with third-party TVs. Users will also be able to search for content saved in Google folders to watch on TV.

Samsung, on the other hand, introduced its Vision AI. Just like its smartphones have Galaxy AI, its 2025 line of TVs will offer various AI-based tools; their new Smart TVs and Smart monitors will come with integrated Copilot.

“This partnership will allow users to explore a wide range of Copilot services, including personalized content recommendations,” the company said in a statement.

The feature allows the TV to adapt to each user’s preferences and transform the screen into “smart companions that enhance entertainment,” including Click to Search, which allows identifying and searching for information on any item displayed on screen.

It also includes real-time subtitles in any language for any content shown, generative wallpapers for users to personalize based on preferences, and other features that align with Samsung’s strategy to turn the TV into the smart home control center.
