At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, NVIDIA Corporation CEO Jensen Huang announced significant advancements in artificial intelligence and robotics, suggesting a transformative shift for the technology sector in 2026. A key highlight was the unveiling of the next-generation AI chip, Vera Rubin, which offers five times greater performance and ten times lower cost per query compared to NVIDIA’s current chips, with production slated for 2026.
Additionally, Huang introduced Alpamayo, a new suite of AI models for Level 4 autonomous vehicles, which allows vehicles to make autonomous decisions in specific areas. Furthermore, the revamped Atlas humanoid robot from Boston Dynamics was showcased, featuring improved capabilities and battery-swapping technology, intended for deployment in Hyundai’s new facility in Georgia later this year. This marks a significant leap in AI moving from screens to real-world applications.
As AI technology expands, it is expected to create demand for the infrastructure required to support it, setting the stage for a new era of innovation with implications across various industries.
