CES 2025: Top picks from the future tech show

The global technology show is back with more gadgets than you can shake a stick at!

9 January 2025

One of the biggest tech events in the world, the Consumer Electrics Show (CES)†www.bbc.co.uk, has kicked off in Las Vegas this week.

The show, from 7-10 January, is a chance for tech companies to show off their latest gadgets and inventions before release.

This can be anything from self-driving cars, robotic pets to super-powerful computer chips.

The first CES happened in 1967, since then thousands of products have been unveiled at the show - including satellite radio, the Microsoft Xbox and 3D printers.

The fluffy hi-TATA-x was on display at the show

AI (artificial intelligence)†www.bbc.co.uk is a big part of the show this year, with many gadgets using the new tech - including robotic pets or companions.

One such gadget is the hi-TATA-x - a fluffy smart pet that seems like a cross between a Furby, a Tamagotchi and a smart speaker.

It has been trained to recognise and react to different human emotions using a camera built into its face, and can also listen to and have conversations with its owner using the technology behind ChatGPT.

This has raised questions about privacy, and whether or not the information it gathers would be shared. The company says that "most of your data is kept locally".
