AI has dominated industry discussion and developments over the past few years. This held true for CES 2025 but with a specific angle: AI delivered from the network edge. The implications of edge AI for operators span several areas – from new business opportunities to networks.

This analysis focuses on how and why edge AI came to be the biggest topic at CES. A further report examines five key areas of innovation: AI, consumer devices, smart home, digital entertainment and automotive.
