CES Debuts Smart Hair Clippers That Cut Nothing but Your Patience
KEY POINTS
- •CES 2026 showcased AI-infused gadgets including wearables, companion robots, and appliances all over the floor.
- •Glyde launched smart hair clippers that despite AI branding provide an extremely normal haircut experience.
- •Even the manufacturer admitted uncertainty about what exactly makes their product ‘AI’ at the event.
CES 2026 is back with a vengeance, this year featuring AI in EVERYTHING—from companion robots to hair clippers that make you question your life choices. Among the highlights is Glyde’s smart hair clippers, a palm-sized device promising AI wizardry yet delivering what looks like a very normal haircut. Even the manufacturer seems confused about which part is ‘smart.’ Nearby, the show flaunts AI in vacuum sticks and gadgets so questionable you’d think Hal 9000 moonlighted as a janitor. Wildly invasive AI toys and screens filled the floor, but Glyde’s trimmer stole the show by making us wonder: do clippers need IQ, or just a blade sharper than CES marketing buzzwords?
