CES 2018 Proves Artificial Intelligence Will Take Over Our Lives

Artificial intelligence (AI) is suddenly everywhere. From phones and TVs to air conditioners and even a toilet, the flashy new products at the year's CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas - the world's largest tech show - are showing the 180,000 attendees that if a device doesn't have AI inside, it's not worth having. At least, that's what they're being led to believe. Have you ever decided to buy a smartphone because it had AI inside? Probably not, but next time you buy a handset it's likely to be a major factor. Huawei kicked it off a few months ago with its Mate 10, claiming the phone's NPU (neural processing unit) would enable smart photography and machine translation.
