CES 2024: A showcase of the latest advancements in technology including AI, computers, and more

the tech world has converged here in Las Vegas at CES 2024 it is one of the largest tech conferences of the year we've had a chance to speak with leading industry experts on the latest advancements and everything from artificial intelligence to Autotech all information that will help transform your portfolio in 2024 here's a Roundup of some of our biggest interviews and the entertaining Tech we found along the way [Music] cheers it's like pineapple what else is in it do we know Chad PG secret I'm told Yahoo finance is on the ground here in Sin City Las Vegas for CES 2024 I'm at the booth for ducon group where this AI robot is about to make me a cocktail I'm here with Stephanie Callaway she is the senior marketing manager at ducon she's going to show me how this works great so this is Mixmaster Moody our cocktail bartender mix master Moody yeah yeah uh so powered by Microsoft Chat GTP aai is going to tell you what kind of cocktail you need based upon your mood and facial recognition so to go ahead should I smile you can do whatever you want you can get angry you could smile you can look bored whatever you want okay press Start okay then he's asking how your day is CES so exciting amazing chaotic there you go camera's going to turn on I look that way yep you're going to look up [Music] there you're happy do you feel happy yeah I feel okay all right so then we'll go ahead and generate the cocktail for you takes about 10 seconds analyzing my photo right now inter deciding deter I'm having yep you're going to get a joyful aour it's going to start making it right now over [Music] here cheers the best AI it's like pineapple how does it determine what happy feels like let take so it's looking at all of the features of your face your eyes your nose your mouth the shapes that you're making and it's associating that with predetermined recipes that would be associated with that feeling that so we've essentially got a robot bartender right um alcohol non-alcoholic as well concept right now correct you're going to see this in a bar soon yeah yeah I think that in places where you've got high volume capacity so whether it's a concert or you know an airport or something like that it's meant to assist a bartender right so somebody who's moving and and grooving and they're kind of behind the wheel like this is supposed to help somebody make the volume go a little bit faster so these robots are designed to be collaborative with humans and be in the works space with them and we're just really excited to to take this one to Market it'll be [Music] fun I'm Aiko fuja in Las Vegas here on the ground at CES 2024 where one of the big focuses is about AI on devices the car one of those big devices and we're now joined by CEO and president of Qualcomm Cristiano Oman who's been making a big push into the auto space um Christian it was just one year ago that you announced the ride flag system on chip this big push into Auto what kind of momentum have you seen since yes we're we're very happy um you know we're working with virtually every company as the car is really becoming a computer on Wheels digital is becoming the most important uh part of the automotive transformation and the fact that we created this platform the Snapdragon digital chassis is really resonating well with both of our companies and you see a lot of opportunities for Innovation the fully immersive cockpit experience autonomy safety with assisted driving connectivity to the cloud and of course gen on an automotive as well we got to talk about gen a in the car that's one of the big headlines you've taken away here from CES what does that mean in terms of the user experience yes you know gen is going to develop on the devices or the edge different than it develops on the cloud you know and the two are going to work together so think about you you're going your car and your car is going to become personalized to you you have a couple things that J will bring uh to you as as a driver of the car first of all you now have the opportunity to have conversations with your car with real context think about large language models like chat TBT when you're behind the wheel that's the perfect interface for you to be behind the wheel and you're going to talk to your car about where you need to go the car is going to reminding of something the car is going to be your digital assistant with you all the time but the other things that you're going to see happening in the car as the car become a hub for services the car is going to learn about you and know where you do where you need to go like a simple example the car will know that you need in your calendar you have certain appointments or maybe you made a call and you need to pick up groceries it will tell you you plan ahead for you if you normally call somebody when you get to your car the car is going to ask you do you want to call that person right now as it does you do every day and things like that but the reality is we don't know yet there's so much excitement so many developers bringing new applications and the car is going to be the next Computing platform like your phone like your PC we're going to see a lot of use cases the auto space certainly part of this larger transition we're seeing within Qualcomm to diversify Beyond just mobile when you look at the potential in this SP how big of a revenue driver do you think Auto can be for qu oh it's uh it's going to be very big you know we announced we have over 35 billion dollars of a of a contracted Pipeline and we are ahead of our projections to hit 9 billion in Revenue by the end of the decade so it's going to be a substantial part of Falcon revenues and as you said it a very important step in diversification and growth for the company we've heard over and over at this conference AI in devices transformational is the word we keep hearing obviously that unlocks a lot for qualcom how much value are you thinking about when you think about the car you think about the smartphone you think about the PC what does it mean for f very good look first of all uh I'm going to take credit we start talking about on device AI before it was popular like we've been we've been talking about this for years we believe that how you think about Computing on devices whether your phone with your PC and your car that's going to be the new accelerated Computing and you're going to run a lot of AI on devices phones uh we're starting to see as early as 2024 some very interesting use cases uh even with flagships that are launching uh early this year that could create a new upgrade cycle for phones and that will by definition just increase the phone market PC we look at that only the vice AI at the biggest day wind for our entry into the PC space and of course we talk about the car so you've got a a number of channels there that you can tap into sounds like a lot of that will be reflected in 2024 it's not just about the idea but in the financials we'll see that I think we going to started to see those things come to life in 2024 first devices Flagship Launches on Snap Dragon agent3 uh I think started with the upcoming uh Louch of Samsung you're going to started to see a lot of interesting uses own device AI then you're going to see the new Microsoft Windows coming with X Elite in the second half of 2024 um and then I think we're just at the beginning of that change with cars you've got the the macro headwinds that we've been seeing there's also the political headwinds also in China in some ways Qualcomm kind of caught in the crosshairs whether it is the ban on iPhones whether it is about sort of the over overall lawmaker push to try and ban any supplies to company like Huawei as well when you think about the potential in the market you get more than 50% of your revenue from there does the benefit still outweigh the risk for you look I'm going to I'm going to provide maybe a different outlook on this uh and I think it maybe a more optimistic Outlook if if I may look as we diversify and we grow the company uh we starting to see that also happening with our China business if you look about um our mobile business in China uh we power all of the flagships and the high tier for all the Chinese brands from Oppo viiv xiaomi uh honor and many other brands in both their domestic market and some of their Global markets as well we're working with virtually every Chinese EV company uh right now and you look at what's happening with China EV and we expect that that as we go into Computing and even The Internet of Things uh for industrial we're starting to see new Chinese Partners as well so if you have a leading technology you're going to have a big business in China the good thing about qualcom is as of today we're not focused on the data center we're focused on devices and so far uh many of the policies has not yet restricted the ability to continue to business in phones NPCs and cars and uh we want we want that to continue if anything while we cannot predict the future I think stronger relationship between the Chinese Enterprises American Enterprises always serve a stabilizing factor in the relationship so the policy is not as restrictive it sounds like right now for you but given where the conversation is going in DC is there any thought within Qualcomm to reduce exposure in China look I I think it it's the true for all the semiconduct their companies I think the S technology gets developed you're going to have a big business in China just function of GDP I think our focus is less about diversifying from China more about diversifying from mobile because we want to create new growth uh uh vectors for the company Mobile is a great Market every time you have an upgrade you're going to have growth but it's a fully penetrated market so that's why we look into markets such as the automotive the PC the industrial it's just growth opportunities for us okay Cristiano thank you so much for your time today I really appreciate it likewise thank you Yahoo finance is on the ground here in Las Vegas at CES 2024 where the PC is having a moment specifically we're talking about AIP PCS we sat down with Executives from Intel Lenovo HP and Dell to talk about how the integration of AI technology into devices is likely to transform the PC experience experience so much of the conversation over the last year has been AI in the cloud this is really that pivot point where we're talking about AI in devices why is that such a GameChanger well it's a GameChanger because you can take these large language models that have been in Cloud this kind of ambiguous set of experiences that no one tangibly could actually ever touch or hold and now you've brought it with into the CPU with this neural Processing Unit where you allow it to run locally on the machine and you allow that localization to be personalized to you so whatever is most important to you from an AI perspective you now can do it on your machine whether you're connected to the internet or not you have that power within the PC and that's the real game Cher right you know one of the words we've used internally is to think about AI gives you superpowers it allows you to summarize dramatic amounts of information much more quickly so imagine if AI can be looking at your schedule summarizing your emails telling you what your most important things are for the day as well as telling you hey you're not going to make this appointment should I make these changes those are all things that are kind of intangibles but once they're part of your daily life things that you're not willing to give up because they've made it easier it will do what you do in 2 hours in 2 minutes so it will bring bring tremendous productivity the more visible feature is this co-pilot key when you touch it it will trigger all the a the AI functionality in the cloud what's amazing about AI is that now we're training the device we're training models so that it learns human it will anticipate me it will be far more personalized to me and that's a step function change it's more than just faster a little bit more it is different because it's more personalized and that's a revolution of what was always intended to be a personal computer it's really going to become personalized yeah I think we we are in the beginning of the AI kind of air and we're in like early innings for that if you do go back a couple years I would say the PC we had the Renaissance of the PC as you think about covid and people kind of woke up to hey this is a great device a really important companion and you think about today now going okay taking that thing that kept me connected during those times to it's going to become this personal companion that will help me be more efficient in everything that I do early estimates are that we would expect at least 40 to 50% of the PCS in the next 3 years will be AI PC enabled and with a um a rich set of configs that enable that that that can help double the growth rate of the PC industry we are confident that the aipc will be an inflection point and that will accelerate the replacement cycle you think about that potential for upgrades and people refreshing their PCS is pretty enormous to have the latest technology that lets them be more productive at work or get more done at home on their PC so something very tangible something you can't do on your machine today that you can do on your machine tomorrow we're hoping that this Spurs This inflection point of refresh and getting people to go and buy a new pc and have new experiences and if I can make an analogy this might do what the smartphone has done to the phone if you think about that the smartphone gradually has completely erased the phone category and everybody has upgraded to smartphone aipc is going to do the same for PC Yahoo finance is out in Las Vegas for CES 2024 catching up with some of the biggest names in Tech and talking what's next for AI Akiko fueta spoke with Jack whest Intel autov VP and GM about the company's Automotive chip efforts and the future of aip's in the car take a listen this new lineup of products brings the best of the aipc and all the reliability of the data center into the vehicle so automakers can evolve their AR architecture away from fixed function to softwar defined and dynamic architectures going forward so how does what Intel's announcing change the way these EVS are structured so what it means for an automaker is uh before you'd kind of design a car around an engine now you can start with a battery and a computer and build the rest from there and so it really frees up their opportunity to do some really unique things so one of the other things that we announced this week is that we are also going to be the first supplier to deliver a chiplet based product for the automotive industry and allow our customers to integrate their own custom chiplet inside of our products what does that mean so what that means to an automaker is if you've got some special let's say AI algorithms inside your company or um you really want to do something truly custom and differentiating that only that automaker's brand will have uh in the past you'd have to build a fully custom chip which is incredibly expensive with a chiplet based approach the automaker can develop just a small chiplet and we will integrate that into our product and then deliver it back to them so it's kind of a hybrid custom approach where they get the benefits of a fully customed differentiated piece of silicon but at a fraction of the cost fraction of a cost what are we talking about in terms of where it is right now versus where the cost can be about a tenth as expensive as building a fully custom 110th 1110th what about from a user perspective how does experience change for the driver so what it means for consumers is they're going to be able to enjoy a bunch of new kinds of experiences in the vehicle that they've not enjoyed before so we announced this week with Zer a leading Chinese electric vehicle maker their new living room experience uh powered by Intel's new software defined Vehicle Products and so what that brings is AI capabilities so you can have a conversation with a generative AI Voice Assistant it means you can play high-end PC games productivity applications video conferencing you know it's really a a mobile living room or workspace on Wheels we have been seeing this transition um in cars from just sort of cars as we see it to you know machines on Wheels right what does that ultimately mean for Intel the opportunity you see given just how electrified and digital more and more of the car experience is yeah I think you said it every with everything becoming more digital the opportunity for companies like us who provide products that process all those digits uh becomes even bigger uh we estimate that currently uh silicon as a percentage of a vehicle's bill of materials is only about 4% of the total cost by the end of the decade that will be 20% of the vehicles Bill and materials will be spent on Silicon one of the other things you've announced is um this ability to to manage power more efficiently I would tell you as an EV driver myself that perked up my ears right yeah how does it work so we announced uh a definitive agreement to acquire silicon Mobility which is a company with an Innovative power energy delivery system that could deliver significant enhancements in the efficiency of power delivery so imagine uh a battery that's 30% smaller or range that's 30% longer uh that's what we'll be able to do with that technology but more if we combine that with the rich contextual information that's inside the car such as who's driving what's the weather outside where you're going we can now make energy management much more intelligent uh where it is not today by combining all of that information together to give you more accurate range uh or to make sure you get to your destination because we can turn off other things that aren't being used to conserve energy so it's really about bringing intelligent Energy Management to the car and taking a whole vehicle platform approach in terms of how we manage that that energy source so given everything that you have described the further integration of of chips software in these cars when you think about Intel's business overall I mean so much of it is driven by devices PCS Autos itself how bigger how big of a revenue driver can it be how much bigger is that pie going to get for Intel yeah we think it could be huge you know so when we looked at a different industry that went through a similar trans transition think about smartphones you know where we went from feature phones which were fixed function lagging node to Smart function smartphones which were really software defined and leading node uh and so in 20110 about 20% of the market was smartphones by 2020 80% of the market is smartphones we estimate today about only 20% of the software of the vehicle Market is software defined or electric and in 10 years 80% will be so we're about to see the same explosion of growth opportunity for Intel in this space and that's why we're positioning ourselves to be able to help the industry in this transformation so here we're showing what would be a vehicle you've got a digital instrument display cluster youve got an e- miror uh the front passenger might be enjoying a game you've got a navigation app and then up here we're showing four additional displays you might imagine in the rear seat of the car where perhaps one of the kids is watching a movie uh and another one is playing a game up there in the upper right we also have a conversational AI assistant so bringing AI into the car and letting people talk and have aers ation with their voice agent so all of this is running on a single product is this how many screens we're going to see in cars in the future we have requests from automakers for 12 14 in a car everything is becoming a display you know and eventually you'll think about your windows as transparent displays think about a kid playing a game in the back seat where they're looking out the window touching the screen with a transparent display so amazing things are coming in cars because of this technology and when are we going to start to see this integration in cars that are on the market this product here will be start will commercially ship this year in the end of 2024 so in the next couple years you're going to start seeing vehicles in the market that have these capabilities and what does a future car look like or what is the experience inside the Future car I wish I knew but I think what it's going to be I think it's going to be more personal I think it's going to be more predictive and understanding our needs and wants and it's going to be a lot more intelligent whether it's a more accurate range estimation uh or it's giving you better rerouting advice on your trip um it's going to be a lot more enjoyable experience that was our owna Kiko Vegeta and Intel's Jack whis I'm Aiko fuja on the ground here in Las Vegas at CES 2024 where EVS continue to be the focus uh Vietnam's startup here vinfast unveiling this new vf3 here on the floor and today we are joined by Madame Tui the chairwoman of the board for viin fast great to talk to you today yeah likewise thank you very much thanks for having me let's first start with a company news that came out this week a bit of a shakeup at the top yet again you've got the the chairman of Vin group your parent company now stepping in is CEO you are now chairwoman of the board what is this shakeup mean for vinfast strategy in the US I wouldn't call it a shakeup I would call it uh reinforcement we got to the certain level the different kinds of leadership I need to focus more on the fundraising the external relation part of the uh of of vast and our chairman uh like serious entrepreneur have been building multiple multibillion dollars company is going to um take on the daily operations and leading the organization according to the Strategic plans that we already have so it's a strengthening at the top of the company like may you made a big splash with your public listing last year um but let's talk about the EV environment right now in the US comes at a time where we started to see sales slow drivers are increasingly hesitant about the infrastructure the range and the cost when you think about where things are in this market what's a realistic expectation the company has in the US for 2021 I think uh the the uh EV adoption rate has um decreased but the adoption is still there I mean obviously it cannot continue going at the very high level but uh but you continue seeing the increase in EV adoptions uh but now like after you scratch the surface and you know like already met the need of the people that you know have multiple cars and just you know can buy another car for good reason and now you really have to um sell to the to the mass markets right um um then you just um have to make sure that the vehicles are affordable and can also meet the daily needs of the of the consumer uh so that's when we we come into I mean from from very beginning we say that our mission is to EV is accessible to everyone you see all the models that we have uh around here and um in in our lineup of vehicles anything from like you know the affordable EVS under $20,000 to a very luxurious uh vf9 that can fit the whole family so we we want to have a little bit for everybody so we feel like when when customer becoming more uh Suzy uh and you know make the decision and buying an Eevee uh making having all vehicles in all different segment we have the customers to choose the vehicles the vf3 that was unveiled here that is going to be on the lower end of your car range right roughly what $20,000 or so L 20 less than $20,000 is that where you're looking to compete in the US market instead of the you know 40,000 roughly 50,000 that you have on the current market is this where you see the real opportun it's an uh interesting twist I mean we started out um because all the market research say that the US uh consumer like really big car so that's how we started with like vf8 and vf9 in in the US well especially the vf9 and and the uh and the book building the orders from the customer also so you know significant significant number of uh vf9 um so in September when I came here to meet with the um group of dealers when we decided to switch to um dealership model met with um different group of dealers in in the US and I brought this car with me the vf3 that was um very well received in Vietnam at that time as a test and then we show to I mean we show the vi we show the whole lineup we show the BF3 together wef 6 BF 7 we have8 BF n like all of them and then and uh I asked the dealers like do you like this car do you think you can sell this car and hand on heart everybody like you know definitely it's going to be the biggest uh volume for us um so everybody like all the dealers that we met with uh like the BF3 and so we went back and we decided to just um develop the vf34 US market as well so uh when's the launch date next year early next year early next year right um You have set a a pretty ambitious Target here 750,000 annually globally by 2026 in terms of total deliveries how much of the infrastructure have you built out to be able to meet that kind of Target um so the um um Factory in Vietnam can um we have a capacity of up to 300,000 Vehicles a year uh the one that we building in uh North Carolina uh can um go up to 150,000 vehicles per year uh we're building two factories we already announced in India and Indonesia so uh so each of them would be anywhere between you know the smallest one would be 50,000 to 200,000 so roughly that uh that can you know add up to the capacity uh for the next 5 years and what's the mix when you think about that Target of 750,000 is it half vf3ss how do you look at that mix right now in the line of that you have I think different markets are are different like uh for example in Vietnam we big on like vf3 vf5 vf34 um yeah so like the smaller more affordable uh vehicles uh in the markets like uh us markets and uh we haven't tested this we we're still thinking but um uh our plan G all to work like you know the bigger bigger cars in the US so different markets are different uh Indonesia is also different India is a little bit different so we have to change our strategy a little bit what each market and finally I'm looking straight across here you've got the pickup concept car did you see it did you see I have looked inside what's interesting to me is in the US market it feels like this is such a crowded space now you talked about how the strategy is kind of shifted in the US from sort of the bigger cars that you thought would sell better to this being a potential draw where does the pickup fit in the line of in the future uh so pickup Market is um always hot in the US uh and uh uh so this is the concept car that we introduce here and we would like to get the feedback from the uh from the customers the the market and uh we will make a decision as to um how to change it when to when to have the vehicle uh right now we're thinking like 2026 but uh you know just there would be a lot more uh uh feedback you know to be taken before we um okay and finally if I can bring it back to 2024 and where vinfast is right now you said you are seeing the us as a growing Market we are seeing slower EV adoption even if the adoption is there what's the Target right now in terms of deliveries you're hoping for here uh I think next week we're going to um announce the uh deliveries for 2023 when and um the uh earnings for 2023 as well as the expectation for the future are we talking thousands tens of thousands what what are you looking at oh for the for deliveries uh probably tens of thousands tens of thousands but still ear but this uh still beginning for us in in the US market great Madam Tui thank you so much really appreciate your time today thank you thanks a lot thanks AO big thank you to our very own Akiko feta for That interview with with Madame Tui Vin fast board of directors [Music] chairwoman this is the future of the toilet the black hone Black Version will run a retail around 10,500 Yahoo finance is on the ground here in Las Vegas at CS 2024 where we've been walking around trying to find sort of new and unique products I think we found a good one here smart toilets from Coler let's see and there it goes opened up to walk us through all this we've got Andrew Van Gordon he is the product manager for smart toilet correct yes welcome what do we have here this is the future of the toilet right so this is our new Me 2 .0 smart toilet as you saw it automatically opens as you walk up to it completely touchless experience as you walk away it's going to close and flush behind it what's great about you know the new me is the centor here on the side why don't you go ahead and put your foot right next to that this is the Angel debate by the way whether you have the seat up up or down right let's see F my foot up here that's right a little sensor to automatically open the seat ring as well and how do I close it try it again that same sensor blue light there you go we also close it and flush behind it as well so all of our smart toilets are built in with that automation Touchless Control be able to control a couple key things the lighting that you see wrapped there on the side right now you've got blue lighting can we change that you can we'll go ahead and change it again to a yellow Sunrise type of theme heated seats heated seats warm air dryer and the bedet built-in bedet with customiz spray temperature spray position how much is this going to cost the black hone Black Version will run a retail around 10,500 let's see what else we have here so over here we have our new pure wash e930 bedet seat what's great is its really Slim profile one of our thinnest designs on the market so far but also introduces some automatic open and close technology as well a first for our bday seat lineup easy to install maybe a little bit lower in price point compared to the new numi we talked about earlier okay let's go to your concept toilet awesome yeah let's take a look so here we have our numei 2.0 a bit more visual with a little bit more visual a concept that we're introducing called e in technology you might have seen it in other Industries but we're applying it to the glass on top here to really give it a design increase over what we saw earlier so here we have it demonstrating a different design pattern changing constantly in a routine or a pattern the thought process here is to allow consumer consumers and designers an extra Edge over other designs to customize and really personalize their space so this is just concept but somebody's got to spend a lot of time in the bathroom right to really appreciate yeah these toilet this is the Center Stone of your bathroom this is the show piece something tells me it's going to be more than 10,000 it might be we're still evaluating pricing are you finding that people more and more people are are are splurging in the space a little bit Yeah the self ultimate luxury exactly a lot of people over the last few years have realized that incorporating Beday into their lifestyle is a meaningful change for them a lot cleaner a lot more comfortable a lot more convenience built into the bathroom so great space to invest and get that longevity out of a piece of artwork Furniture but it's a toilet it is a toilet I'm Akiko fuja here on the ground in Las Vegas for CF 2024 where the focus has been no surprise artificial intelligence I'm now joined by Dr Dimitri kesa who is a Department of Homeland Security under secretary for Science and Technology talking about the risks how you think about the risk from a Homeland Security perspective when it comes to AI the proliferation of this technology particularly geni has been so incredible the last year or so oh yeah how has that shifted the way you think about the risks that are out there for home it changes a lot and it's not just AI it's at the suite of emerging Technologies are like engineering platforms they all talk to each other almost like you know Legos you can piece together some some Gene editing with some big data with with some Ai and and some uh manufacturing and and you can compose things that have never been done before in smarter ways and and the ability to use machine learning or AI to kind of fuse and create novel things brings with it the downside because it's a democratized technology many people have access to it what are we going to face as these things become more prolific uh more ubiquitous and uh so with with I I think about the adversarial side all the ways you can fool A system that is smarter when you talk about the downside what is that as you see it well you know already for some years people have uh have shown you could stand in front of a facial recognition system and being invisible I could be you uh or or anyone else you you can fool it in cyber attacks we we've kind of grown up over the decades we have an ecosystem we we know what to look for someone is trying to inject a rogue instruction into your system they have to penetrate it they have to put something there to have it do something AI attacks you don't have to touch a system if you understand things about it you can get around it and and so the nature of AI attacks uh already is is quite distinct and the thinking you need is different and we're going to have those moments like oh I didn't think that could happen and there's going to be a of that Department of Homeland SEC obviously not just looking at domestic risks you're looking at this from a Global Perspective as we see AI really take hold when you look globally what are the big hotpots what are the key concerns the kinds of challenges you know again thinking about AI you mentioned generative AI uh AI threats uh that are Global include some of the transnational uh criminal organizations that that work uh to uh for example draw uh draw immigrants through Panama up through Central America there's a lot of interesting uh disinformation you know you'll get Disneyland tickets we'll take care of you please go this way it is a business model for people and the the way you reach out and inform them about hey here's a great opportunity uh is is getting smarter more targeted in Native languages uh there there's a transational repression how how foreign countries can Target uh certain populations here or elsewhere and and and and kind of uh repress them in different ways and generative AI is is an enabler of things like that there is kind of a global side to it are there particular countries particular regions that really keep you up I think the fact that anyone can do this is is part of the challenge it is it is very enabling today today you know you just have to walk around the show which is you know uh CES is really the probably the premier of global technology showcase everything here is smarter everything's being reinvented and with that will come new functionality new threats new issues open to anybody you know it's it's a very democratized space I mean you talk about just walking the floor here at CES I mean you could argue every company operating in some way with AI technology what's been the conversation for you the takeaway from the conference as you talk to these private companies you're in the public sector you're trying to get ahead of the threat what are you what's been the discussion for you well part of it is we have a lot of Boutique needs uh we we don't buy huge numbers of things just the nature you know if it's for Secret Service it might be onesies or twoes for certain kinds of protection details if it's for airports or borders uh you know it's hundreds maybe thousands it isn't driven by a huge market cap and and so the things we need often are offshoots of of main commercial paths that companies are doing and and often we need peie parts of innovation from from different companies and and how do you blend IP or or work together to create something where you protect IP in the right way and incentivize so working with us Beyond transactional is really important we have important things that we have to do that impact really everyone uh in in the US and and the question is how do we generate the best from such a vibrant you know ecosystem you You released um what's essentially a road map for preparedness AI preparedness as you look at what the department of homelet security needs to do to tackle this where do you see the biggest holes right now it's not so much holes it's that I I I certainly personally believe that the World of Tomorrow is is a bit nonlinear with respect to today excuse me the World of Tomorrow is going to be different and and that the risk models we have today may not scale to what we worry about tomorrow when you leave here you'll go through uh Las Vegas international you'll go through our checkpoints you know how do you rethink that in the view of a a smart changing world and what what are the risks that are coming tomorrow Beyond it's you and it's in your bag you know and if it's not that then it's nothing else you know and and so if it's on our list of things that it could be then that's what we worry about and if it's not then we're okay you now how do we get beyond that model you know we have Smart Systems you go up here to The Innovation award uh uh area everything's being re invented there isn't anything you can point to that isn't being rethought we could do with some of that as we think about uh our use cases and while so much of the focus has been about the risks of AI I imagine you're probably looking at this from twofold you want to be after the risk be ahead of it but at the same time AI can be a huge tool for you in tackling some of these risks how are you thinking about that what does that look like so it's it's a big Force multiplier so DHS has about 260,000 people mostly law enforcement uh responding to uh many kinds of of threats and and so um what we need are are solutions that go beyond we have to hire more people and there are places where we've seen this so for example we work in in in war crimes to make sure people don't you know get on no fly list and don't come to this country you have to view incredibly toxic images and information we do child sexual exploitation uh dark web streaming content crypto things that are air gaap piecing together uh these kinds of networks we we've had this year a 50x Improvement in the ability to make leads uh because of because of AI because we can understand content the environment the networks the fabric of these uh uh you know criminal uh networks that that traffic in children uh and it's led to this year uh freeing children uh rescuing it's led to arrests led to convictions and but the 50x Improvement could have been met by 50x staff up it didn't same people far more effective uh when we do bulk cash money laundering trying to understand criminal organizations what used to take three years and and 10 experts just a couple years ago it's now just a matter of days and and so there are places where the use of Smarter Tools with this data is significant but it's not a commercial product it's fascinating to see the changes there thank you so much really appreciate the time thank you so much AO he's able to type right just by looking exactly can we have him spell Yahoo finance [Music] sure we are here with Naki Logics it's a neural interface company that allows you to control digital devices like a laptop handsfree with this earpiece and facial gestures he's not touching anything he's not touching anything so this is totally handsfree right now totally handsfree and voice free he's just looking at the text that he wants to type and then it is being typed on screen that is incredible so this is all you need this the small earpiece exactly you can uh play play a video game you can fly a flight simulator Dave can fly 737 in the flight simulator on his computer look straight look up looking at the top [Music] panel 1000 Sate up [Music] up I'm confident if we could fly a 737 with nothing but an earbud you can control anything and everything and is is that not uh the goal of implants well but then you don't need to implant the chip there you have it that's why we're here at CPS I'm not against Brain implants it's very important to know because I think brain implants are very very important for certain aspects of society those who are truly locked in those who have severe neurological disorders uh where technology like DOI may not be a fit but for somebody who you want to consider a typical quadriplegic uh and healthier from that level up to an including healthy able-bodied people like us this is the ability to almost telepathically handsfree voice free and Screen free control everything with nothing but a wearable
