Summary: Is CES better called ‘The Connected Ecosystem’? Our thoughts on that, the good and the bad about AI dominating this year’s show, highlights from Intel, and Deeplite and more. THIS WEEK’s FAST FIVE > CPU-based edge AI > State of the Fitness Tracker Market > What Deeplite’s up to > Andes Technology > The exciting things to expect from Android in 2020 This week's Tech Bites Winner: For the Tech Bites portion of our show, we cover weirdness from Teen Vogue. Business insider reported that Teen Vogue posted a well-polished and positive piece on how Facebook is “securing” the 2020 elections. It looks like sponsored content. It smells like sponsored content. It is sponsored content. At least Teen Vogue says it was sponsored content by posting a note at the top of the article. Facebook then denies it, saying the article is not sponsored content. Then it changes course and says, oh wait, we guess it was sponsored content. And then, Teen Vogue deletes the entire story. Get it together, Teen Vogue. We expect more from you. Our Crystal Ball: We circle back to CES and our predictions on what the main technology or technology category will be for the 2021 show. Without hesitation, all three of us have an answer … you’ll have to listen to the show to find out what it is!
