At the upcoming CES 2026, artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a buzzword, but an expectation. The tech industry has reached a saturation point where AI features are being packed into every new device, making it challenging for companies to differentiate their products.
The phrase "everything is AI now" has become a reality, according to Anshel Sag, principal analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy. With the rise of AI, companies are struggling to make their offerings stand out from the crowd. It's no longer about whether a product includes AI features; it's about how well those features are implemented.
Take smart glasses as an example. While many companies will unveil new smart glasses with advanced AI capabilities, few can match Meta's lead in user experience and design. The software behind these devices is what ultimately matters – if the execution is poor, the product will be useless.
AI is expected to permeate various product categories beyond wearables, including earbuds, headphones, smart clothing, and health tech. Health sensors will also start appearing in unexpected places like toilets, bath mats, and bras. The smart home market will continue to benefit from machine intelligence, with AI-powered products that can listen, see, and understand their surroundings.
The CES 2026 event promises to be a showcase for the latest innovations in AI technology. While it's hard to predict which company will come out on top, one thing is certain – the software behind these devices will play a crucial role in determining success.

. It's all about execution and user experience now. Those smart glasses might look sleek, but if the software is clunky or hard to use, it's not gonna impress anyone 
. And yeah, health sensors in weird places like toilets? That's some next-level thinking 
. I'm hyped to see what innovations come out of CES 2026, but I think we're just scratching the surface of what AI can do 
they need 2 focus more on user exp than just throwin out new tech lol u know smart glasses r cool n all but if the software is whack its useless lol 
meta's lead in UX design is waaay ahead of everyone else 
i'm hyped for CES 2026 tho, cant wait 2 c what else innovation comes thru 
.
meta's smart glasses are still the benchmark to beat, no one can touch them 
and i'm low-key excited about all the health tech innovations, like smart toilets and bras 
it's gonna be interesting to see how companies use ai in unexpected places like home decor and fashion 
.
. It's like we're all just expected to be walking around with AI-powered glasses and earbuds, but what's really going on beneath the surface? Is it even making our lives better or are we just getting more features for the sake of having them? I mean, smart toilets and bras? That's some wild stuff 
. Can't wait to see what kind of innovations come out of CES 2026, but you're right, the software is where it's at - let's hope companies can get it right 
.
. And don't even get me started on health tech – we're talkin' AI-powered toilets and bras? That's like science fiction, right? 
.
️. And yeah, it's hard to tell which brand is which when they're all just throwing AI features into their products like a bunch of tech Halloweens costumes 
.
. And earbuds that can monitor your heart rate while you're listening to music? That sounds like a recipe for anxiety 
.
If anyone can make these things user-friendly and fun, it'll be the companies that are pushing the boundaries of AI. Can't wait to see what they come up with at CES next year! 
... who cares? And don't even get me started on smart toilets and bath mats... the future is just a never-ending stream of unnecessary features 
...
I mean, how many smart glasses with "advanced" AI features can we really handle? It's like everyone's trying to cram as much tech as possible into their products just to impress us. Newsflash: it's the stuff that doesn't get attention that's actually gonna change the game – like better battery life or more durable designs 
. I love being tracked and monitored, but can we please just have some peace and quiet in our bathrooms? It's gonna be a wild ride with AI in the smart home market, but I'm not sure I'm ready for it yet 
. It's like every single device is going to be smart now and they can't even do it right. Smart glasses are just going to be another gadget that collects dust on your shelf because the software is just not good enough. And don't even get me started on health sensors in toilets and bras... what's next? AI-powered toothbrushes that tell you how clean your teeth really are?
