Topics
Sean O'Kane: 我在CES 2025上关注交通运输领域，发现汽车厂商的创新性不足，缺乏亮点。Delta航空公司主题演讲虽然邀请了明星助阵，但内容空洞，缺乏实际意义，提出的基于生成式AI的方案过于简单，没有解决实际问题。 Carissa Bell: 我主要关注机器人技术，看到了许多可爱但功能简单的机器人，其中一些旨在为老年痴呆症患者提供情感支持。我还被一台中国公司Unitree生产的机器人攻击了，这凸显了机器人技术安全性的重要性。Linda Iaccarino的主题演讲缺乏逻辑性和连贯性，内容混乱。 Ed Zitron: 我对Faraday Future公司印象深刻，该公司财务状况不佳，但其创新精神值得肯定。我体验了Ark Boats公司的电动船，认为这是一款成功的产品。在Eureka Zone展区，我发现许多产品缺乏新意和趣味性，但一些辅助技术产品还是比较实用。
