CES 2026: AI Shifts from "Wow" Factor to Utility
As CES 2026 kicks off in Las Vegas, the narrative has moved beyond the novelty of chatbots to "integrated machine intelligence." Wired reports that companies are no longer just showcasing that they have AI, but are under pressure to prove how it practically enhances user experience in everything from smart homes to sensor-packed consumer gadgets, signaling a maturity phase for the industry.
AI Misinformation Amplifies Disaster Confusion
New reports highlight how AI-powered software is accelerating the spread of false information following natural disasters. NPR notes that during recent events, AI tools facilitated the rapid creation of deceptive posts that drowned out verified safety information, prompting calls for stricter platform regulations as "hallucinated" news stories confuse victims and relief workers alike.
