AI takes center stage at CES 2024, but don't expect the usual AI hype parade.
Instead, the spotlight's on how businesses are handling the AI boom. Talks cover everything from AI's silver screen dreams to the nitty-gritty of AI governance.
Meanwhile, the chips are down for chip makers as Microsoft and Meta dial down their CES presence.
And in marketing land, AI is more of a sidekick than a superhero, with advertisers cautiously eyeing its campaign prowess.
CES 2024 is where the AI rubber meets the road, and it's not just on the tech tracks.

PRODUCTION MASTERY
“Napoleon” Sony Pictures
In the upcoming film "Napoleon", Ridley Scott aimed to recreate the grandeur of old Hollywood epics like "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Ben-Hur."
The centerpiece? A breathtaking portrayal of the Battle of Waterloo, the clash that ended Napoleon’s reign. Scott envisioned sweeping shots filled with colorful armies, but reality and budgets got in the way.
Instead, he got creative with his creative, using practical effects to capture the essence of the battle and then adding digital troops to the mix. And it’s not just about the soldiers — they had to get the horses right too.
Through a mix of rain machines, windy weather, and multiple cameras, Scott and his team worked to bring both the spectacle and the nuance. It’s a testament to modern filmmaking that even when faced with limitations, directors like Scott can still craft awe-inspiring scenes.
So get ready to immerse yourself in history as "Napoleon" charges onto screens later this year, complete with a Battle of Waterloo sequence that’s equal parts old-school epic and cutting-edge artistry.
