• CES 2025: Showcased what AI can do

• CES 2026: Showed what AI is actually doing in production

“Wow” to “Work”

• 2025 had proof-of-concepts

• 2026 emphasized real customers, contracts, and scale

XR & Media Became Business-Ready

• Shift from entertainment demos to broadcast, training, education, and virtual production

• Strong relevance for XR studios, media companies, and live commerce platform

Hardware Became AI-Native

• Not “AI-enabled devices” anymore

• Devices are now designed around AI compute from the silicon up

A comparison of 2025 and 2026 reveals how CES transitioned from showcasing ideas to validating business models.

The contrast between CES 2025 and CES 2026 is stark. While CES 2025 focused on proving the possibilities of artificial intelligence, extended reality, and robotics, CES 2026 emphasized execution, deployment, and monetization.

In 2025, exhibitors leaned heavily on generative AI demonstrations, early XR experiences, and conceptual robotics. The emphasis was on imagination and future potential. Investors explored broadly, and startups focused on visibility rather than revenue.

By 2026, the tone had changed. Autonomous AI agents replaced copilots. XR moved from entertainment to enterprise training, broadcasting, and commerce. Robotics appeared not as prototypes but as deployed systems in logistics, healthcare, and manufacturing.

Most notably, CES 2026 reflected a market correction. Investors were selective, enterprises demanded ROI, and partnerships outweighed publicity. Companies that could demonstrate real customers, operating margins, and scalability dominated the conversation.

CES 2026 did not feel louder — it felt more serious.

Premier Doug Ford said his government would bring in a bill that would end the condition of post-secondary education for police recruits which means that only a high school diploma will be enough to join the police.

Speaking from The Toronto Police College in Itobico on Tuesday, Ford said crime in Toronto has increased by more than 20 percent at the same time last year. People don’t feel safe.

We need more police officers around us.

With the new bill, the Community Safety and Policing Act (CSPA) will be amended so that a secondary school diploma is enough to become a police officer. The province is also working on eliminating tuition fees for a 12-week basic constable training program at Ontario Police College.

The decision to abolish tuition fees will be implemented from early 2023. The province says that this fee will be refunded to the recruits who have paid this fee this year.

The city has appealed to the province that in this way, if any driver is trapped in the middle of the intersection, then they should be fined heavily.

The City Council has approved a resolution moved by Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie in this regard and the city has also appealed to the Ford government to impose strict fines in this regard. McKelvie said that due to wrong driving behavior, other people’s time and money are wasted and the jam in such a place looks different.

Currently, the blocking the box carries a fine of $85, but the city wants the fine to be up to $450. If someone gets caught in blocking the box in a community safe zone, the city wants to impose a fine of $500 instead of the $125 fine it now imposes. The city has also asked the general manager of transportation services to find other solutions in place of fines.
