Here are some of the the major AI trends shaping 2026 — based on current expert forecasts, industry reports, and recent developments in technology. The material is analyzed using AI tools and final version hand-edited to this blog text:
1. Generative AI Continues to Mature
Generative AI (text, image, video, code) will become more advanced and mainstream, with notable growth in:
* Generative video creation
* Gaming and entertainment content generation
* Advanced synthetic data for simulations and analytics
This trend will bring new creative possibilities — and intensify debates around authenticity and copyright.
2. AI Agents Move From Tools to Autonomous Workers
Rather than just answering questions or generating content, AI systems will increasingly act autonomously, performing complex, multi-step workflows and interacting with apps and processes on behalf of users — a shift sometimes called agentic AI. These agents will become part of enterprise operations, not just assistant features.
3. Smaller, Efficient & Domain-Specific Models
Instead of “bigger is always better,” specialized AI models tailored to specific industries (healthcare, finance, legal, telecom, manufacturing) will start to dominate in many enterprise applications. These models are more accurate, legally compliant, and cost-efficient than general models.
4. AI Embedded Everywhere
AI won’t be an add-on feature — it will be built into everyday software and devices:
* Office apps with intelligent drafting, summarization, and task insights
* Operating systems with native AI
* Edge devices processing AI tasks locally
This makes AI pervasive in both work and consumer contexts.
5. AI Infrastructure Evolves: Inference & Efficiency Focus
More investment is going into inference infrastructure — the real-time decision-making step where models run in production — thereby optimizing costs, latency, and scalability. Enterprises are also consolidating AI stacks for better governance and compliance.
6. AI in Healthcare, Research, and Sustainability
AI is spreading beyond diagnostics into treatment planning, global health access, environmental modeling, and scientific discovery. These applications could help address personnel shortages and speed up research breakthroughs.
7. Security, Ethics & Governance Become Critical
With AI handling more sensitive tasks, organizations will prioritize:
* Ethical use frameworks
* Governance policies
* AI risk management
This trend reflects broader concerns about trust, compliance, and responsible deployment.
8. Multimodal AI Goes Mainstream
AI systems that understand and generate across text, images, audio, and video will grow rapidly, enabling richer interactions and more powerful applications in search, creative work, and interfaces.
9. On-Device and Edge AI Growth
10. New Roles: AI Manager & Human-Agent Collaboration
Instead of replacing humans, AI will shift job roles:
* People will manage, supervise, and orchestrate AI agents
* Human expertise will focus on strategy, oversight, and creative judgment
This human-in-the-loop model becomes the norm.

Näkökulma: Tekoäly sanana on harhaanjohtava , koska LLM ei tarkkaan tiedä sitä, mitä se ei tiedä. Sellainen ei ole älykäs.
Perustelu: Jos joku ihminen ei tiedä sitä mitä hän ei tiedä vaikka pystyisi haastamaan Millenium palkitun Tuomo Suntolan tavoin Albert Einstein ,niin hän ei ole älykäs eikä edes tekoälykäs.
Todellinen älykkyys ei ole vain kyky tuottaa vaikuttavia vastauksia, vaan myös kyky tunnistaa, mitä ei tiedä.

In Finland, the fight against misinformation doesn’t start in adulthood — it begins in the classroom.
From an early age, Finnish students are taught how to recognize AI-generated fake news, misleading headlines, and manipulated content. Media literacy isn’t treated as an optional skill or a modern add-on — it’s embedded directly into the education system. Just like reading, writing, and math, understanding information has become a fundamental part of growing up in a digital world.
In practice, this means students learn to question what they see online. They’re taught how algorithms shape what appears in their feeds, how images and videos can be altered, and how AI tools can generate convincing but false narratives. Instead of passively consuming content, students are encouraged to analyze sources, verify claims, and think critically about intent and bias.
Teachers play a key role in guiding these conversations, often using real-world examples to show how misinformation spreads and why it matters. Lessons go beyond theory — students actively break down articles, compare sources, and even create their own content to better understand how easily information can be manipulated. The goal isn’t just awareness, but confidence in navigating an increasingly complex information landscape.
This approach reflects a broader understanding: in the age of AI, knowledge alone isn’t enough — discernment is essential. By equipping young people with these skills early on, Finland is building a generation that is less vulnerable to manipulation and more capable of making informed decisions. It’s a proactive defense, rooted in education rather than reaction.
As AI continues to evolve and blur the lines between real and fabricated content, Finland’s model stands out as a powerful example. It shows that the most effective way to combat misinformation isn’t just through regulation or technology — but through empowering people, starting from childhood.
Because in a world full of noise, the ability to tell what’s real may be one of the most important skills of all.

Anthropic Claude has been having its moment lately. Shortly after being labeled a supply chain risk by the Pentagon, it shot to the top of the Apple App Store for the first time, dethroning OpenAI’s ChatGPT. According to reports, free active users on Claude have increased by over 60% since the beginning of 2026, and the number of people signing up daily has quadrupled.
Given all this momentum, more and more people are discovering that Claude has a lot more to offer than just the basic chatbot experience. One of those features is Claude Code, a terminal-based agentic tool that lets you interact with Claude directly from the terminal. While it’s been one of my favorite AI tools lately, it isn’t for everyone. If you happen to be one of them, there’s, fortunately, a free, completely open-source alternative to Claude Code that just so happens to work with almost everything.
OpenCode is a completely free and open-source Claude Code alternative

Vibekoodattu RISC-V: AI suunnitteli kokonaisen CPU:n yhdessä yössä
https://etn.fi/index.php/13-news/18705-vibekoodattu-risc-v-ai-suunnitteli-kokonaisen-cpu-n-yhdessae-yoessae
Piirisuunnittelun automaatio otti ison askeleen eteenpäin, kun yhdysvaltalainen startup Verkor syötti 219 sanan vaatimusmäärittelyn AI-agentille – ja sai 12 tunnissa ulos valmiin RISC-V-prosessorin GDSII-tiedostona. Tuloksena syntynyt Vercore-ydin ei vielä kilpaile nykypiirien kanssa, mutta osoittaa, että kokonainen CPU voidaan suunnitella pitkälti ilman ihmistä.
Verkorin kehittämä Design Conductor -työkalu (DC) hoiti koko suunnitteluketjun RTL-moduuleista testipenkkien generointiin ja integraatiotestaukseen asti. Se ajoi koodia Spike ISA -simulaattorissa, debugasi virheitä, analysoi timing-raportteja ja teki tarvittaessa arkkitehtuurimuutoksia. Käytännössä agentti teki sen, mihin perinteisesti tarvitaan tiimi suunnittelijoita ja EDA-työkaluja.
AI ei tyytynyt yhteen ratkaisuun, vaan generoi ja vertaili useita mikroarkkitehtuureja. Tuloksena oli muun muassa suorituskykyyn ja energiatehokkuuteen optimoidut versiot. Lopullinen Vercore on viisiportaisella pipeline-rakenteella toteutettu RV32I-ydin, jossa on tuki Zmmul-laajennukselle.
Suorituskyvyltään Vercore jää kuitenkin selvästi jälkeen nykyprosessoreista. Sen kerrotaan yltävän 1,48 gigahertsin kellotaajuuteen 7 nanometrin prosessissa ja noin 3261 CoreMark-pisteeseen. Tämä vastaa suunnilleen Intelin Celeron SU2300 -prosessoria vuodelta 2011.

Working Hands
The Number of People Using AI at Work Is Suddenly Falling
Is that good?
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/gen-ai-workplace-surveys?fbclid=IwdGRjcAQwToFjbGNrBDBOTGV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHvajiHYD8q3ItmGPKFHybNbp1h9D5qmj_es_sYkUqbxLCQClYujuglu29OcB_aem_7iF-kLmBkHA_lvG6B8R3Zg
After three years of unprecedented tech spending and nonstop hype, the demand for AI in the workplace seems to be drying up fast.
Referencing data from a recent US Census Bureau survey, The Economist estimated that the percentage of Americans using AI to “produce goods and services” at large companies rang in at a modest 11 percent in October, the latest available survey date. It’s not just that the figure is a bit soggy for the supposedly world-changing technology, but that it’s suddenly moving in the wrong direction: the financial publication notes that the percentage is actually down from 12 percent in the prior survey, conducted two weeks previously.
Looking at the big picture doesn’t make it any prettier. Back in March, the number of businesses with 100-249 employees that reported not using AI within the last two weeks stood at 74.1 percent. The survey results show a steady uptick in “no” results over the past few months, culminating in a dreadful 81.4 percent as of the latest poll.
For big corporations with over 250 employees, meanwhile, the “no” reports have crept up to 68.6 percent, up from the year’s low of 62.4 percent recorded in February.
The data is nothing if not a major red flag for an industry which is expected to spend $5 trillion on AI infrastructure between now and 2030. To do so will require a massive increase in revenue from both business and personal AI use — the latter of which has been lagging.
Unfortunately for the tech industry, enterprise AI customers aren’t picking up the slack. Though various non-government surveys cited by The Economist varied wildly in their numbers, they all seemed to spell out the same results: AI remains more of an experimental plaything in the workplace than a serious driver of productivity.
One economist at Stanford who tracks the use of generative AI at work found a major drop in usage month to month: though 46 percent of respondents reported using the tech in June, that number had fallen to 37 percent by September.
The results follow a disappointing summer for AI advancements, with models like OpenAI’s GPT-5 falling short of expected performance gains.
senior executives found over half felt they were “failing in their role” of supporting AI in their companies.
Instead, executives pointed to a creep of “AI fatigue” among the rank and file — which a year of AI horrors probably hasn’t helped.
With a $600 billion gulf between AI revenue and AI spending, an immense amount is riding on whether the tech can start bringing home the bacon.

Musked Up
There’s a $10 Billion Problem With Elon Musk’s New Chip Factory
“We either build the Terafab or we don’t have the chips, and we need the chips, so we build the Terafab.”
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/elon-musk-terafab-finances?fbclid=IwVERDUAQwUClleHRuA2FlbQIxMABzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAwzNTA2ODU1MzE3MjgAAR5YO9n0B7RGgEghNBj6aaQ5ckjf9339YkCzIb3JkJvrWvLa8myj-FDPA1XH-Q_aem_dGa8JOBxJC3z7Z0SqD20lw
If Elon Musk ever cuts the ribbon on his massive chip factory “Terafab,” it could be among the largest buildings on Earth — and one of the most expensive.
Terafab, announced in a painfully awkward conference over the weekend, is a joint semiconductor venture between Musk’s SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI companies. Should it ever come to be — we’re skeptical — the factory would be much bigger than its already-existing Giga Texas facility, and would surely be the largest chip plant on the planet.
In his early estimates, Musk said the initial costs for Terafab could come out to around $20 to $25 billion, which is not currently reflected in Tesla’s 2026 capital expenditures.

The Nordic AI Inflection Point: Value Creation or Value Bubble?
https://www.bcg.com/publications/2026/nordic-ai-value-creation-or-bubble?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ai&utm_description=paid&utm_topic=ai&utm_geo=nordics&utm_content=nordic-report&fbclid=IwdGRjcAQwUThleHRuA2FlbQEwAGFkaWQBqy1XdjQ-TnNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHtayDLyOaqlegBpPLv3Q3cBuJqTVtYpoRDE_Rw9XzJflXpPUV_eFIg_0Eniz_aem_cCjSadv_rAjpfRk0Rgu70Q&utm_id=120239668481360094&utm_term=120239668481350094
Key Takeaways
Nordic business executives are treating AI as a top strategic priority—yet, today, only 4% of companies see meaningful ROI (returns of at least five times their AI investment) on a par with global and EU competitors.
However, Nordic companies’ 2029 impact expectations are 2–3x higher than that of global competitors, raising the stakes for delivering on bold ambitions.
Concerningly, Nordic companies direct a disproportionate share of AI investment toward off-the-shelf productivity tools (~40%–50% vs. 8%–11% for global and EU competitors). By contrast, global leaders invest far more in transformative, end-to-end use cases, which typically generate higher ROI.
If the ROI gap persists, Nordic economies face a real risk of a local AI value bubble and could lose significant ground to global and EU competitors.
Enabling transformative AI value creation requires five key components: top-down strategic direction, ownership across the entire business, cross-functional teaming, executive governance, and strategic buildouts of enabling technology.
AI adoption is now nearly universal among Nordic companies. Yet, despite rapid uptake and substantial investment, AI is falling short of its promise in terms of delivered value, with realized returns that remain strikingly limited: only 4% of Nordic companies report achieving returns of at least five times their AI investment.
This gap between investment and impact is not unique to the Nordics, but it is a growing cause for concern. To better understand the underlying drivers, BCG spoke with more than 300 executive leaders and managers across mid and large cap companies in the region.
The findings reveal a clear paradox. Despite limited AI returns today, Nordic executives express exceptionally high confidence in future value creation. They expect AI to drive revenue growth of roughly 30% and cost reductions of around 25% by 2029. These expectations are significantly higher than those reported by European and global peers, placing the Nordics at the upper end of the ambition curve.

Godfather of AI Predicts Total Breakdown of Society
Tech billionaires “are really betting on AI replacing a lot of workers.”

Geoffrey Hinton, one of the three so-called “godfathers” of AI, never misses an opportunity to issue foreboding proclamations about the tech he helped create.
During an hour-long public conversation with Senator Bernie Sanders at Georgetown University last week, the British computer science laid out all the alarming ways that he forecasts AI will completely upend society for the worst, seemingly leaving little room for human contrivances like optimism. One of the reasons why is that AI’s rapid deployment will be completely unlike technological revolutions in the past, which created new classes of jobs, he said.
“The people who lose their jobs won’t have other jobs to go to,” Hinton said, as quoted by Business Insider. “If AI gets as smart as people — or smarter — any job they might do can be done by AI.”
“These guys are really betting on AI replacing a lot of workers,” Hinton added.
Hinton pioneered the deep learning techniques that are foundational to the generative AI models fueling the AI boom today. His work on neural networks earned him a Turing Award in 2018, alongside University of Montreal researcher Yoshua Bengio and the former chief AI scientist at Meta Yann LeCun. The trio are considered to be the “godfathers” of AI.
All three scientists have been outspoken about the tech’s risks, to varying degrees. But it was Hinton who first began to turn the most heads when he said he regretted his life’s work after stepping down from his role at Google in 2023.

https://etn.fi/index.php/13-news/18709-arm-haluaa-vallata-ai-palvelimien-cpu-paikat
Englantilainen kännyköiden prosessori-IP:llä suuruuteen noussut Arm tekee historiansa suurimman strategisen liikkeen, kun yhtiö on julkaissut ensimmäisen oman palvelinprosessorinsa. AGI-niminen piiri on suunnattu suoraan AI-datakeskuksiin, joissa CPU:n rooli on muuttumassa nopeasti.
Arm on yli kolmen vuosikymmenen ajan elänyt mallilla, jossa se lisensoi prosessoriytimiä muiden suunniteltavaksi. Nyt yhtiö ottaa askeleen, joka vie sen suoraan samoille apajille omien asiakkaidensa kanssa. Tämä tarkoittaa käytännössä kilpailua sekä perinteisiä x86-toimijoita kuten Intel ja AMD vastaan, että pilvijättien omia Arm-pohjaisia kehityksiä vastaan.
Uusi AGI-prosessori on suunniteltu nimenomaan AI-agenttien aikakauteen. Kun tekoäly siirtyy mallien kouluttamisesta jatkuvasti toimiviin agentteihin, CPU:n tehtäväksi jää yhä enemmän työn orkestrointi, datan siirto ja kiihdyttimien ohjaus. Tämä kasvattaa CPU-kapasiteetin tarvetta merkittävästi, vaikka varsinainen laskenta tehdään GPU:illa ja erillisillä AI-kiihdyttimillä.

Woe Is Men
CEO of Palantir Says AI Will Seize Power Away From College-Educated Women
“This technology disrupts humanities-trained — largely Democratic — voters.”

From the guy who bragged that he chats with “real Nazis” and mused about how legalizing war crimes would be good for his bottom line comes another zinger that will have you yearn for the days when CEOs acted more like cautious bureaucrats than ‘roided out pro wrestlers.
In a CNBC interview Thursday, Palantir cofounder and CEO Alex Karp opined that AI will undermine the influence of “highly educated, often female voters” and empower working class men instead. And anyone who doesn’t realize this political reality, he added, belongs in an “insane asylum.”
“This technology disrupts humanities-trained — largely Democratic— voters, and makes their economic power less, and increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, voters,” Karp elaborated in a portion of the interview highlighted by The New Republic.
“And so these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society. And to make this work, we have to come to an agreement of what it is we’re going to do with the technology; how are we gonna explain to people who are likely gonna have less good, and less interesting jobs.”
Palantir provides AI-powered surveillance tech to the military and government, including agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as well as foreign militaries like the Israeli Defense Force.
Its CEO’s comments will be music to the ears of to the Trump administration and its supporters, which has embraced AI in all aspects: as a battlefield tool, as a way of eliminating federal bureaucracy, and as a machine for producing propaganda in a cultural war against woke, DEI, minorities — and, of course, women.

CodeBoxxin perustajan Nicolas Genestin mukaan ohjelmistokehitys on kääntynyt päälaelleen: koodia ei enää kirjoiteta, vaan tekoälyä orkestroidaan kohti tavoitetta. Muutos näkyy erityisen voimakkaasti sulautetuissa järjestelmissä, joissa tiukka laitteisto–ohjelmisto-integraatio, pitkät validointisyklit ja virheiden korkea hinta tekevät agenttipohjaisesta kehityksestä poikkeuksellisen merkittävän murroksen.
Ohjelmistoteollisuus ei ole viimeisen kahden vuoden aikana vain kehittynyt. Se on kääntynyt ympäri. Vuosikymmenten ajan kehittäjät on opetettu kääntämään vaatimuksia koodiksi rivi riviltä, funktio funktiolta. Työ on ollut hidasta, tarkkaa ja syvästi inhimillistä. Nyt tämä malli murenee tehottomuutensa alle.

Tekoäly ei enää tarvitse pilveä. Ambient Scientificin uusi GPX-10 -prosessori tuo jatkuvasti päällä olevan AI:n suoraan ranteeseen. Tästä huolimatta laitteet voivat kestää yhdellä latauksella jopa kahden viikon ajan.
Ambient Scientific esitteli Nürnbergin Embedded Worldissa yhteistyössä Dimension NXG:n kanssa MAI-nimisen turva- ja terveysrannekkeen, mutta varsinainen uutinen ei ole laite. Se on tapa, jolla tekoälyä ajetaan.
Perinteisesti älylaitteet keräävät dataa ja lähettävät sen pilveen analysoitavaksi. GPX-10 kääntää mallin ympäri. Se pystyy ajamaan useita AI-malleja jatkuvasti suoraan laitteessa ilman verkkoyhteyttä. Tämä mahdollistaa reaaliaikaisen analyysin, paremman yksityisyyden ja käytön myös ympäristöissä, joissa yhteydet ovat heikot tai puuttuvat kokonaan.
Ratkaisun ydin on niin sanottu DigAn-arkkitehtuuri, joka yhdistää digitaalisen ja analogisen laskennan. Sen sijaan että dataa siirrettäisiin jatkuvasti muistin ja prosessorin välillä, matriisilaskenta tehdään suoraan muistissa. Tämä poistaa Von Neumann -arkkitehtuurin tunnetun pullonkaulan ja parantaa energiatehokkuutta merkittävästi.

Meta is rebranding some employees as “AI builders” and organizing them into AI-native “pods,” according to a leaked memo obtained by Business Insider.
The memo described an overhaul of roles, titles, and team structures across a 1,000-employee team within Meta’s Reality Labs. It’s part of a broader, aggressive push by Meta to adopt small teams and use AI.
The pilot program was announced last month within the Reality Labs team that builds developer tools. Everyone in the division will now have one of three titles: AI Builder, AI Pod Lead, or AI Org Lead. That’s to encourage a shift toward a flatter organization, a structure that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has advocated.

“We’re saying goodbye to Sora. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing,” OpenAI’s Sora team said in a statement Tuesday.
The statement added, “We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work.” OpenAI didn’t respond to requests for additional info.

Microsoft’s commitment to shoving its Copilot AI chatbot into every imaginable facet of its widely-used Windows operating system hasn’t gone over well with users.
Copilot feels like it’s infiltrated everything, from a dedicated keyboard key to a thick coat of AI weighing down its otherwise lightweight text editor, Notepad. And that’s not to mention years of annoying ads for its in-house services, like OneDrive and Microsoft 365.
In short, it’s no wonder users are desperately looking for greener pastures, from a growing exodus trying out the open source operating system Linux and Apple’s aggressively priced MacBook Neo, which could be the non-Windows saving grace for many budget-conscious buyers looking for a basic machine.
Microsoft seems to have finally noticed that its house is on fire, particularly following the heavy-handed embrace of AI garnering it the widely used pejorative of “Microslop.” Unsubstantiated rumors over Windows 12 embracing AI even more triggered a massive uproar earlier this month, once again highlighting widespread disillusionment.
In a Friday post titled “Our commitment to Windows quality,” Windows VP Pavan Davuluri effectively admitted outright that the company has gone too far shoving AI down users’ throats at all costs.
Apart from announcing astonishingly basic functionality like allowing the taskbar to be pinned to the left or right of the screen — something other operating systems have been capable of for decades — Davuluri claimed that “you will see us be more intentional about how and where Copilot integrates across Windows, focusing on experiences that are genuinely useful and well‑crafted.”
“As part of this, we are reducing unnecessary Copilot entry points, starting with apps like Snipping Tool, Photos, Widgets and Notepad,” he wrote.
The admission shows how companies are still desperately searching for meaningful ways to implement large language model-based tech in consumer products. As AI industry leaders continue to pour hundreds of billions of dollars into the tech, many attempts to embrace the tech are backfiring in spectacular fashion, leading to frustration and backlash among many who never asked for these changes.
It’s not just users becoming annoyed. Some implementations of AI could lead to real cybersecurity issues. Case in point, after Microsoft crammed its Copilot into the Notepad app, researchers discovered a major security failure that had to be patched.
