In this episode, I share my eight AI predictions for 2026, not just where the technology is heading, but how it will change daily life, culture, politics, and the systems we live inside.
This episode is about reading the signals early, understanding what 2026 is likely to unlock, and why the choices made in the next year will matter far beyond technology itself.
From the rise of people being more offline and the rise of voice-first technology, to AI glasses, political backlash, and cultural divides in entertainment, I wanted to share where I view the future potentially going.
