January 9, 2026, 4:30 AM EST. At CES 2026, AI permeates gadgets, but not all claims deserve the label. The Glyde smart hair clippers pair a real-time AI coach with adjustable cut depth, prompting questions about trusting stylistic guidance from a device. SleepQ's AI-upgraded pharmacotherapy uses smartwatch data to time when you take a pill, with plans to broaden to anxiety meds and other drugs, raising safety and ethics questions. Deglace's Fraction vacuum uses AI to optimize suction and predict failures, with modular upgrades via in-app parts orders, drawing skepticism about ongoing parts costs. The booth highlights how AI lands in unexpected niches-hair care, pills, and home appliances-often with fuzzy or questionable rationales for intelligence.
