An Open Door to the Future

The AI robots I met at CES 2026 have the potential to fundamentally change the way we live, going beyond simple technological advancements. However, robot-human coexistence also raises new ethical and social questions. Will robots replace human jobs, or will they create new opportunities? We need to find answers to these questions. Personally, I want to welcome the future with a positive attitude rather than fear. I hope AI robots add light to our lives, like stars in the night sky!
