BCG at CES 2027

Agentic AI is transforming organizations, but it demands systems that keep AI agents working together reliably, safely, and at scale. Edge AI helps by bringing intelligence to devices, machines, and sites for real-time decisions with lower latency, greater resilience, and tighter data control. For operations leaders, the opportunity is capturing value while preparing for increasingly autonomous systems. In automotive and advanced manufacturing, Physical AI is enabling adaptable robotics, intelligent logistics, and human-machine workflows.

The next phase of AI is about reshaping how the enterprise works. BCG helps leaders rethink workflows, decisions, and operating models to turn these technologies into value at scale.

AI is scaling faster than the infrastructure that supports it, making compute, power, data centers, networks, and chips strategic constraints rather than background utilities. That is changing the economics of AI, as decisions about where intelligence runs, from the cloud to the edge, shape cost, speed, and resilience.

BCG helps leaders look beyond near-term capacity toward long-term infrastructure strategy, including total cost of ownership, energy and supply chain readiness, and the partnerships needed to scale.

Autonomous driving is entering a new phase as competition shifts from incremental features toward integrated platforms built on compute, software, data, and continuous learning. That shift is changing mobility economics.

BCG helps leaders move beyond vehicle-by-vehicle feature and hardware optimization toward platform economics, deciding what to own, where to partner, and how to build learning velocity, software reuse, and lifetime value. As robotaxis and autonomous mobility move toward commercialization, these choices will also determine where new value pools emerge and who is positioned to capture them.

As AI becomes both an interface and a more active part of the customer experience, it is changing how consumers discover, evaluate, buy, and engage with companies. Leaders need to rethink not only the end-to-end journey, but also how brands stay relevant and evolve, from reinventing workflows and operating models to creating new products, platforms, experiences, and business models.

BCG brings together strategic clarity and applied AI to turn technological potential into transformative impact, helping leaders navigate the tough choices ahead and turn ambition into action.
