The Big Ideas Shaping CES 2026 And What They Mean For The Future Of Technology

What does CES 2026 really tell us about the future of technology, business, and geopolitics? 🌐🤖 In this conversation, I speak with Gary Shapiro, CEO of the Consumer Technology Association and the driving force behind CES, about the trends shaping the global tech landscape. We explore how artificial intelligence is moving from experimentation to real productivity, why robotics, healthcare tech, and mobility are becoming central themes at CES 2026, and how regulation can either enable or suppress innovation. We also discuss tariffs, export controls, and why uncertainty is becoming one of the biggest risks to global investment. Gary shares his perspective on how democracies can compete with centralized tech strategies, the growing importance of energy and nuclear power for AI and data centers, and why collaboration between governments, industry, and startups matters more than ever. If you want to understand where technology is heading next, and what it means for business leaders and policymakers, this conversation offers a clear and candid view. 🔔
