According to CNET, there will be nine facial recognition vendors at this year's CES. Privacy advocates are concerned about the "normalization" of facial recognition technologies because they're worried people are giving up too much privacy with these new devices. Pro-facial recognition pundits argue the benefits outweigh the privacy issues. One vendor to watch for Cyberlink, who will be introducing FaceMe which claims a 98% accuracy rate.

It was banned from CES last year, but in 2020, Osé makes its triumphant return to the exhibit floor. Osé uses micro-robotics inspired by human movement to achieve a full-bodied climax. Developed by CEO, Lora Haddock, in partnership with Oregon State University's Robotics & Engineering Lab, it's a perfect example of how science, robotics, and feminine physiology are combining to create the next generation of wellness products.

We all know how 5G is going to improve mobile connectivity for phones, but at CES you'll see how 5G and AI working together are going to change how we drive about town. Watch for driverless shuttles, like this one from Bosch, to transport people around the show's grounds and city.
