The world's largest personal consumer electronics show, CES, is getting underway in Las Vegas. Some of the most innovative companies are giving us a peek at what gadgets and tech we may be using very soon. CGTN's Mark Niu has the details from Las Vegas.

MARK NIU LAS VEGAS "The official start of CES doesn't happen until Tuesday, but that doesn't mean the festivities haven't started. Companies have been giving the press a sneak peek of what's lies ahead. And so far on this media day, Artificial Intelligence is emerging as a dominant theme."

A festive mood for the CES kickoff event for Hisense. The Chinese appliance and electronics company increased sales by 63% last year and was the fastest growing TV brand of the top six TV brands in the U.S. In the face of an uncertain trade war that could increase prices, the company remains confident it's on track to gain share in the largest TV market in the world - the U.S.

DAVID GOLD, V.P. CONSUMER ELECTRONICS, HISENSE USA "Hisense has expanded its manufacturing capabilities around the world. We have our largest TV factory outside of China located in Rosarito, Mexico. We're focused really on delivering the best quality product. And we believe that we will do so regardless of one policy or another."

Hisense unveiled three new Quantum Dot-technology TV's for the U.S. market and a 254-centimeter TriChroma Laser TV. All of these new models contain artificial intelligence chips.

DAVID GOLD, V.P. CONSUMER ELECTRONICS, HISENSE USA "Our AI algorithms can basically detect what you are watching and automatically improve the viewing experience. For sports, for example, it will detect that you are watching sports and improve the motion rate, it will make it smoother. Versus a movie experience where the TV will detect the movie at 24 frames per second and then will make it a more surround sound feeling, the colors slightly more cinematic."

GARY SHAPIRO, PRESIDENT CONSUMER TECHNOLOGY "Well, the big thing is clearly artificial intelligence. AI pervades the show, we have a separate area. Almost every major company is showing AI and applications that are truly jaw-dropping."

For lifestyle and tech company LG, artificial intelligence means allowing home appliances to talk to each other like one vacuum cleaner to another.

AI Voice says: "I see you've started cleaning, would you like the robot cleaner to help clean the living room?"

Man says: "Sure that'd be great, thank you."

AI Voice says: "R9 is starting to clean."

LG also introduced new product categories like Home Brew, where by inserting capsules that contain malt, yeast, hop oil and flavoring in as little as two weeks, you can brew beer.

Our first ever beer maker. Now you can enjoy your own cold tasty beer in the comfort of your own home with little more than a simple touch of the button.

While TV screens have already been getting paper thin, LG introduced a world first a space-saving OLED TV that rolls right out for viewing. 

MARK NIU LAS VEGAS "LG also says it will be one of the first to launch a 5G mobile platform this year. With 5G, LG says industry and manufacturing will make massive strides in communication and production capabilities. For consumers, they should be able to download 8k streaming video in seconds and easily play multiplayer games on your mobile phones. I'll have much more to come for you all week at CES, as literally thousands of new ideas and products will be unveiled. Mark Niu, CGTN, Las Vegas.
