Digdeep Podcast: Live From the CES in Las Vegas
News From the Digital World by MCML PI Frauke Kreuter and Christof Horn
In this episode of #digdeep, Christof Horn reports live from the CES, the world's largest consumer electronics trade show in Las Vegas and now also one of the leading trade shows for the global automotive industry.
While there were hardly any classic new car models on display at CES, profound technological changes are taking place behind the scenes.
The focus is shifting from visible hardware gimmicks to fundamental AI structures such as training data, simulations, reasoning models, and scalable infrastructures. Automated driving remains the central AI application in cars, particularly in handling rare, safety-critical "long-tail" situations. "AI for AI," for example through simulation and training, plays a crucial role here, as demonstrated by NVIDIA, among others.
The overarching theme of CES was "Physical AI," where AI models conquer the physical world and autonomous vehicles represent only one part of a future environment shared by intelligent systems.
