AI wearables dominate CES 2026, from jewelry to headphones to exoskeletons

AI is a huge feature on many products at CES this year, including wearables.

Some wearable tech that incorporates AI include rings, jewelry, exoskeletons and glasses.

"I would think more and more people will get used to that because wearable is really to provide you a new interface between AI and the human," said Wei Lyu, Co-Founder and CEO of Nirva, an AI jewelry company with products that can track your mood and record a journal of your day.

Lyu explained that the user has the power to turn the jewelry off if they don't want it to record.

Some attendees told Reuters how useful tech with AI can be, while others weighed in on concerns, including those about privacy.

""Yeah, I would think that would be a big concern," said attendee Roger Pruette. "What data is it feeding back and where is it being used? For marketing or help?"

Other companies are not only leaning into AI, but fusions of technologies, like ible's Airvida T1 air-purifying, noise-cancelling headphones, aimed at detecting pollution and allergens.

"So while you are listening to the music, the device can be at the same time purifying the air in front of your facial area," said ible representative Elaine Lin.
