Unlocking Tomorrow: 3 CES 2025 Insights on AI That Bangladesh Can’t Ignore
You stand at the edge of a tech revolution. CES 2025, held in Las Vegas from January 7-10, showcased over 4,300 companies unveiling AI-driven breakthroughs. For you in Bangladesh—whether you’re a graduate student eyeing your first job, entry-level professional building skills, or a corporate leader steering strategy—these innovations signal opportunities. Globally, AI powers 78% of organizations in at least one function, up from 55% in 2023. In Bangladesh, AI adoption surges in sectors like healthcare and agriculture, yet lags behind South Asia’s $4.3 billion market projection for 2025. Why does this matter to you? Because AI could boost Bangladesh’s GDP by up to 45% through targeted gains in productivity. As emerging economies face 40% job exposure to AI—less than advanced economies’ 60%—you hold the power to bridge that gap. Let’s dive into three key insights from CES 2025. Each one equips you with data, comparisons, and steps to act.
