The card and creditor play a role in determining whether the card is chip & signature or chip & PIN.  Most cards in the US are currently chip & signature.  Merchants may still not require a signature for purchases under a certain amount.

Also be aware that EMV can be contact or contactless.

I noticed that when I shop at my PX...I think for me, anything over $30 tirggers a signature.

My AMEX BCP has the emv  and is contactless...its a very cool feature!

I made an effort this year to make sure the last few cards I had without the chip were changed over. Even though I don't know truly if they will be more secure or not. I just kind of trust that the new technology works.
