Technology at the service of a “better” society
Some major digital and existential questions will also be debated during the plenary sessions of the CES.
How to seduce, for example, consumers with really useful innovations that would make their life easier in times of inflation, how to capitalize on the "available brain time" of Internet users, in order to better distribute a maximum of cyber-advertising to them, or yet how AIs will rub shoulders with humans to automate work, without necessarily putting them out of work.
Climate change is also one of the topics discussed at CES with digital sobriety and the presentation of innovations that allow us to air-condition all our homes at the right temperature, but without wasting energy.
