New CES 2025 categories showcase AI-driven innovations in personalized education, automated film production, and inclusive tourism solutions
The world’s largest IT exhibition, CES, has annually introduced new innovation categories in fields poised to lead next-generation advancements. The AI sector was added to CES 2024, and the quantum computing sector was included in CES 2025. Examining the fields added to CES offers insight into future tech trends.
This year’s CES featured a surge in AI-integrated technologies revolutionizing everyday life. AI is evolving beyond a standalone technology into an infrastructure transforming all aspects of daily life.
Among this year’s newly established categories, ‘Edutech’ garnered significant attention. This sector focuses on AI-driven personalized education, offering tailored learning and automated assessments. South Korean company PersonaAI received an innovation award in this category for its customized educational glasses, ‘MentorLens.’ When worn, the AI system tracks the user’s gaze and voice in real time, identifying areas of difficulty and providing examples or explanations. If a student asks a question, an AI tutor responds within 1 second.
AI technologies revolutionizing cultural content, including video and tourism, were also prominently featured. In the newly established ‘Film Production and Distribution’ category — partnered with the Cannes Film Festival — technologies automating video production via AI were showcased. GaudioLab unveiled ‘Gaudio Studio Pro,’ an AI tool that automates dubbing and subtitle generation, enabling global distribution of video content. In the travel and tourism sector, LBS Tech presented an AI system optimizing transportation for diverse travelers, including visually impaired individuals, seniors, and families.
A new event, ‘CES Foundry,’ was introduced to focus on AI, quantum computing, and blockchain technologies. Held on the 6th and 7th, major tech companies such as Nvidia, AMD, and IBM participated, demonstrating innovations and engaging in discussions on AI ethics and future development directions.
