CES is the world's largest IT exhibition hosted by the U.S. Consumer Technology Association (CTA). This is the first time that app situation•emotion recognition AI service has been honored at CES. The American Consumer Technology Association, host of CES, selects the innovation award by evaluating entries in advance before the exhibition. It is an award given to one product or service that has received the highest evaluation in the field, focusing on technology, design, and innovation. It is a method of recommending music, content, and healthcare information by analyzing user emotions and situations.

LAS VEGAS - Ivanka Trump delivered a keynote address amid controversy at the Consumer Electronics Show Tuesday, touting innovation as an engine for U.S. job growth. The White House senior adviser, whose appearance at CES had sparked a backlash in parts of the tech community, came on stage to applause and cheers. Speaking to Gary Shapiro, president of the Consumer Technology Association, which organizes CES, Trump discussed advances in technology, artificial intelligence and promoted the reskilling older workers, training them in new skills or careers to get better jobs. "Innovation cannot be bridled," she said. "I also believe that innovation is a net job producer."

Securing New Ground, the security industry's annual executive conference this week in New York, offered food for thought about current and future trends in the security marketplace. Highlights from SNG 2019 included keynote remarks from security leaders at SAP, Johnson Controls and the Consumer Technology Association, discussions on how CSOs mitigate security risks, topic-focused thought leadership roundtables and a lively networking reception. Top trends observed at the event include cybersecurity, data privacy, facial recognition and artificial intelligence. A "View from the Top" session covered the need for companies to consider responsible use and ethics around technology; responsibility should extend throughout the organization. A panel of security leaders emphasized the need to understand the diversity of risks that end users face.

Improving artificial intelligence to help prevent heart attacks doesn't just depend on innovation. It also hinges on creating standards, the wonky underpinnings of the technology agreed to by companies and government agencies. For example, the Consumer Technology Association, which hosts the annual CES tech show in Las Vegas, recently created an A.I. working group made up of gadget makers and healthcare organizations. The goal is to establish best practices for how health-related devices collect, process, and exchange people's personal data. But standards are critical to making A.I. more useful in nearly every industry.

IBM's Chair, CEO and President Ginni Rometty has a powerful message for workers and employers in all strata of society: The Fourth Industrial Revolution is underway and it is shaping up to be one of the most significant challenges and opportunities of our lifetime. We are already seeing jobs, policies, industries and entire economies shifting as our digital and physical worlds merge. According to the World Economic Forum, the value of digital transformations in the Fourth Industrial Revolution is estimated at $100 trillion in the next 10 years alone, across all sectors, industries and geographies. "As a result, we face an imminent and profound transformation of the workforce over the next five to 10 years as analytics and artificial intelligence change job roles at companies in all industries," Rometty said while giving a keynote address at the CNBC's At Work Talent & HR: Building the Workforce of the Future Conference in New York on Tuesday, April 2. In February, the executive was appointed to Trump's American Workforce Policy Advisory Board along with 24 other leaders. While only a minority of jobs will disappear, the majority of roles that remain will require people to work with the aid of analytics and some form of AI and this will require skills training on a large scale, Rometty said.

Everyone is talking about artificial intelligence (AI), and with good reason. AI now does simple tasks like playing games. But it also helps pilots fly planes, which is a big reason why we haven't seen a growth in the number of commercial airplane tragedies despite an increasing number of flights. As AI does more complex tasks, it will transform economies, industries and our everyday lives. It will also raise questions about its impact on our economy and jobs.

ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) today announced that CES Asia 2018 will highlight advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) as a new dedicated product category on the show floor, building on the successful demonstration of AI applications across the latest consumer tech products showcased at CES earlier this year. Alibaba A.I. Labs, Baidu DuerOS and iFLYTEK, among others, will exhibit the latest in big data analytics, speech recognition and predictive technology. With China setting the pace to become a global innovation leader in AI, CES Asia will bring together the biggest players shaping the future of artificial intelligence. "Artificial intelligence is one of those exciting technologies that will become ubiquitous in the next decade as it becomes more deeply embedded in the products that we use day in and day out to make our lives better, " said John T. Kelley, senior director, international programs and show director, CES Asia. "AI is already being incorporated in everyday consumer technology products that provide practical benefits, including cars, smart homes, robotics, health and wellness devices and home security. China is leading the way in AI, embracing innovation and setting global standards and it will be front and center during CES Asia 2018!" More, ARM Accelerator and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology will bring several cutting-edge companies to CES Asia.

Voice-recognition lets people benefit from artificial intelligence (AI) almost without a second thought – and this technology is increasingly popular. Amazon had record sales of its Alexa device last year, with millions sold over the holiday season. Google reports that since last October, it has sold at least one Google Home smart speaker every second. And at CES 2018--the world's largest tech event--we saw a host of digital assistants that use a voice interface, from Microsoft's Cortana to Baidu's DuerOS and Samsung's Bixby. This trend will continue into 2018.

The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) and financial firm Deloitte have made a major investment at this year's Consumer Electronics Show to highlight smart cities technology and encourage attendees to explore the solutions presented by this emerging sector. Companies that are pioneering new solutions include major brands like Bosch, Ford, Nissan, and Ericsson. They and others will be on hand to explore new opportunities in smart transportation, smart grids, public safety, cybersecurity, health care, artificial intelligence, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), and more. This year, more than 11,000 square feet of the show, which is held annually in Las Vegas, will be dedicated to The Smart Cities Marketplace, presented by the CTA, the industry's trade organization, and Deloitte. It will feature smart city-enabling technology and solutions.

Throughout the coming decade, data will be key to developing better solutions to our biggest problems, Shapiro writes. The sweeping changes of the past two decades show the power of data to improve our lives. Thanks to game-changing innovations such as artificial intelligence (AI), 5G and robotics, our knowledge about our needs and what makes us tick will soon be more exact and expansive than ever. Data provides us with a better picture of who we are, how we feel and what we like. Throughout the coming decade, data will be key to developing better solutions to our biggest problems.
