CES Awards Expose Consumer Tech Harms
|

A coalition of consumer advocacy groups staged the fifth "Worst in Show" awards at CES 2026, spotlighting gadgets—like Samsung’s AI refrigerator and Amazon Ring updates—that raise privacy, surveillance, and sustainability concerns. Judges from Consumer Reports, the EFF, and others criticized AI companions, unfixable devices, and planned obsolescence, urging repairability, data transparency, and audits that could influence regulation and industry practices.
