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.

OpenAI Sued Over ChatGPT Medical Advice That Allegedly Killed College Student
“ChatGPT recommended a dangerous combination of drugs without offering even the most basic warning that the mix could be fatal.”
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/openai-sued-chatgpt-medical-advice-killed-student?fbclid=IwdGRjcARy0kNjbGNrBHLSH2V4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHpqxNZaUf2nG4q7jHO8GzCjNzujYPSLGCNZanyZIVwKbjrCaJxdc7HqsRyTP_aem_M84lsKguTB5j2WJgLG3qmg
The family of a 19-year-old college student who died of an overdose after consulting ChatGPT for medical advice is suing OpenAI, alleging that chatbot-generated drug recommendations were responsible for the teen’s death.
Filed this morning in California, the complaint details how University of California, Merced sophomore Sam Nelson — whose death was first reported in January by SF Gate— started using ChatGPT during his senior year of high school for help with homework and computer troubleshooting. As his trust with the AI deepened, however, he started turning to the product for something else: advice on how to safely partake in illegal drugs.

Anthropic has crossed a symbolic threshold in the AI race: businesses are now spending more on Anthropic than OpenAI for the first time, according to one closely watched measure.

A new Gallup survey found Americans are more opposed to nearby AI data centers than nuclear power plants.
Around 71% said they oppose AI data centers in their area, mainly due to environmental concerns, massive energy and water use, and quality-of-life issues, compared to 53% who oppose nearby nuclear plants.

A new class action lawsuit accuses OpenAI of sharing data including user chat queries and personal identifying information like emails and user IDs with the tech giants — and targeted advertising behemoths — Meta and Google, without obtaining proper user consent.
Filed yesterday in California, the lawsuit claims that OpenAI’s data-sharing with Google and Meta violates the California Invasion of Privacy Act, known as CIPA, as well as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. It points specifically to OpenAI’s integrations with Meta Pixel and Google Analytics, which are data-tracking and collection tools that facilitate targeted advertisements.
Tomi Engdahl says:
The data-tracking model described in the lawsuit — often referred to as “surveillance capitalism” — is the business that the modern internet is built on today. And OpenAI, like countless other tech companies, does include language in its privacy policy noting that it does collect, store, and share a range of consumer inputs and personal information.

“OpenAI is Coke, Anthropic is Pepsi and Grok is RC Cola.”
Petty Lord
Elon Musk’s Attempts at AI Are Falling Apart
“OpenAI is Coke, Anthropic is Pepsi and Grok is RC Cola.”
https://futurism.com/future-society/elon-musk-ai-falling-apart?fbclid=IwdGRjcARzDBZjbGNrBHML42V4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHrUJsz2Mj7tZ4LD_svaPQxOHuw8a6x8Z9lr5YMv5iOZSfRZHhp3Mkx8X89es_aem_6KIAQhaMkg0mYeDgjxSv1Q
In the AI world, there are what the tech scholar Kate Crawford has called the “Great Houses of AI.” These are Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Meta — giant tech monopolies which happen to also be four of the six top US corporations by market value.
Then there are the lesser houses, the lower fiefdoms squabbling over the crumbs that fall from the big kids’ table. This is where we find Elon Musk’s xAI. Though the world’s richest man has pumped billions of dollars into his pet AI project, it seems all the money in the world can’t buy customers — or even respect, for that matter.
According to the Wall Street Journal, new data shows the growth of xAI’s two-year old chatbot, Grok, has stagnated. Though Musk succeeded in giving Grok a temporary boost after integrating the thing into his social media site X, formerly Twitter, new monthly downloads have fallen from over 20 million in January to just 8.3 million in April.
And those are just the individual users. According to a survey of over 260,000 AI users by the research firm Recon Analytics, the number of people actively paying for Grok barely budged in the last year: it’s up from a meager 0.173 percent of X users in 2025 to a virtually unchanged 0.174 percent today.
While hooking paying customers remains a challenge for most of the AI industry, Grok stands out as a particularly terrible performer. In the same survey, more than 6 percent of respondents admitted they paid to use OpenAI’s ChatGPT, the WSJ shared.
There’s a clear reason for that lukewarm conversion rate. According to AI benchmark site LiveBench, xAI’s current model of Grok lags far behind AI models by companies like Google and OpenAI in reasoning and coding tasks — in fact, it’s even being beat by lightweight open-source models from China like Kimi and DeepSeek.
And on OpenLM’s Chatbot Arena, for another reality check, Grok currently ranks below OpenAI, Google, and numerous models of Anthropic’s large language model, Claude.
Still, diagnosing Grok’s troubles on benchmarks alone may be a fool’s errand. As we’ve seen with those aforementioned Chinese models, the most popular AI model is not always the most powerful — sometimes, it really comes down to vibes.

If you ever needed proof that money can’t buy intelligence, just watch the richest man in the world get schooled by his own chatbot.
In a bizarre tweet — apparently part of Elon Musk’s newfound obsession with resurrecting senator Joe McCarthy — the billionaire mused that “Hitler was a socialist, therefore all socialists are Hitler.”

AI automation is typically exactly what it sounds like: automating tasks — many of which were previously carried out by humans — in an attempt to boost productivity and efficiency, often in a prelude to laying off workers wholesale.
However, a new yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper conducted by a group of Microsoft researchers and spotted by IT Pro found that today’s top AI systems remain eyebrow-raisingly weak at real-world workplace tasks. In fact, they often screw them up badly: the team studied frontier models including OpenAI’s GPT 5.4, Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6 and Google’s Gemini 3.1 Pro, and found that during complex assignments, those cutting edge bots corrupted an average of 25 percent of the content in documents. (Older models failed even more severely.)
The researchers concluded that, overall, these “models are not ready for delegated workflows in the vast majority of domains” — which is a very striking finding from Microsoft in particular, which has made massive investments in AI and is actively trying to jam the tech into nearly every aspect of its Windows 11 operating system, often with disastrous results. (Curiously, the paper didn’t evaluate the company’s own Copilot AI.)

Electric Company Says It’s Cutting Off an Entire Town So It Can Sell All Its Power to Data Centers

The data center scramble feeding off the AI boom is no longer just raising utility prices for nearby civilians — it’s rerouting their utilities entirely.
Bombshell new reporting by Fortune details the plight of residents in Lake Tahoe, on the border of California and Nevada, whose electrical supplier is cutting them off in order to supply more energy to nearby data centers.
According to the magazine, Nevada-based utility company NV Energy gave residents notice that they’ll stop providing power after May of 2027. That leaves California-based energy transmission company Liberty Utilities with a major gap in its supply chain, because NV Energy supplied 75 percent of its total power.
Because of the topsy-turvy web of energy concerns overseeing various chunks of the region, it would cost “hundreds of millions of dollars” to connect Liberty Utilities with a new energy provider on the California side, Liberty president Eric Schwarzrock told the magazine.
The data center boom is rapidly sucking Nevada’s power grid dry, with an estimated 22 percent of the state’s total electricity generation capacity going toward the behemoth computing centers in 2024. According to the Desert Research Institute, that figure could rise to as much as 35 percent by 2030 if current trends continue.

Anthropic launches Claude for Small Business, featuring a host of automated services like bookkeeping functions, business insights, and tools for ad campaigns
Anthropic courts a new kind of customer: small business owners
https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/13/anthropic-courts-a-new-kind-of-customer-small-business-owners/
Anthropic is looking to court smaller companies. To that end, the company announced Wednesday the launch of Claude for Small Business, a new suite of services designed for customers who less resemble Walmart and Starbucks and more resemble the local hardware store or coffee shop.
So far, much of the most intensive AI adoption has occurred at the enterprise level. In the recent past, studies have shown that most companies that scaled AI systems beyond experimental or pilot-level integration tended to be large companies with expansive budgets. This appears to be changing somewhat, as smaller and midsized businesses are seeing greater adoption.
Anthropic’s new bundle of features are designed to serve those new AI converts. They are available via a newly introduced toggle within Claude Cowork, the company’s task-automation platform for business users that can browse the web, manage files, and execute multistep workflows on a user’s behalf. By toggling it on, paying users gain access to a host of automated services, including bookkeeping functions, business insights, and generative tools for ad campaigns.
The new suite also includes integrations between Claude Cowork and a number of software products — like QuickBooks, Canva, Docusign, HubSpot, and PayPal.
“Small businesses account for 44% of U.S. GDP and employ nearly half the private-sector workforce, but their adoption of AI has lagged behind larger enterprises,” the company said. “Tools and training are rarely tailored to the ways small businesses operate, and as a result their use often stops at the chat window.”

LabVIEW-ohjelmointi mullistuu – graafinen kehitys vaihtuu promptaukseen
https://etn.fi/index.php/13-news/18922-labview-ohjelmointi-mullistuu-graafinen-kehitys-vaihtuu-promptaukseen
ntisen National Instrumentsin eli nykyisen NI:n omistava amerikkalainen Emerson vie LabVIEW-ympäristön AI-aikaan. Yhtiön NI Connect -tapahtumassa Teksasissa esittelemä Nigel AI alkaa heinäkuusta lähtien generoida LabVIEW-koodia, rakentaa testisarjoja, luoda visualisointeja ja analysoida mittausdataa käyttäjän puolesta.
Käytännössä perinteinen graafinen LabVIEW-ohjelmointi alkaa muuttua promptipohjaiseksi kehitykseksi.
LabVIEW tunnetaan elektroniikka- ja testausmaailmassa graafisesta G-ohjelmointikielestään, jossa sovellukset rakennetaan vetämällä toiminnallisia lohkoja kaavioihin. Nyt insinööri voi sen sijaan kuvata haluamansa toiminnon luonnollisella kielellä, minkä jälkeen Nigel AI rakentaa tarvittavan koodin automaattisesti.
Tekoäly integroidaan koko NI LabVIEW+ Suite -ympäristöön. LabVIEW:ssa Nigel generoi koodia, TestStandissa testisekvenssejä ja FlexLoggerissa sekä InstrumentStudiossa se auttaa mittausten konfiguroinnissa, visualisoinnissa ja datan analysoinnissa.
Keynote-esitysten perusteella Nigelin yksi keskeisistä ominaisuuksista on läpinäkyvyys. AI ei pelkästään tuota tuloksia, vaan selittää jatkuvasti mitä se tekee, miksi tietty ratkaisu valittiin ja miten analyysiin päädyttiin. Tämä on testaus- ja mittausmaailmassa tärkeää, koska järjestelmien pitää olla jäljitettäviä ja validoitavia.

Google löysi ensimmäisen tekoälyn luoman nollapäivähyökkäyksen
https://etn.fi/index.php/13-news/18923-google-loeysi-ensimmaeisen-tekoaelyn-luoman-nollapaeivaehyoekkaeyksen
Googlen tietoturvaryhmä GTIG:n (Google Threat Intelligence Group) mukaan se on törmännyt ensimmäistä kertaa kyberhyökkäykseen, jossa sekä haavoittuvuuden löytäminen että hyökkäyskoodin rakentaminen näyttävät olleen tekoälyn tekemää työtä.
Tapauksen kohteena oli nimeämätön selainpohjainen hallintatyökalu, jossa oli vakava haavoittuvuus: kaksivaiheinen tunnistautuminen voitiin ohittaa kokonaan.
GTIG:n mukaan joku löysi virheen tekoälyn avulla. Sen jälkeen sama toimija käytti tekoälyä myös Python-pohjaisen hyökkäysskriptin kirjoittamiseen. Tarkoituksena oli valmistella laajempi hyökkäyskampanja hallintatyökalua vastaan.
Google ehti kuitenkin väliin ennen hyökkäyksen laajaa käyttöönottoa ja ilmoitti löydöksestä ohjelmistoprojektille, jotta haavoittuvuus voitiin korjata.
Kyseessä oli niin sanottu nollapäivähyökkäys eli haavoittuvuutta alettiin hyödyntää ennen kuin siitä oli julkista tietoa tai korjausta saatavilla.

If AI Causes a Mass Unemployment Crisis, Will the Public Explode Into Violence?

These days, the conversation around AI automation and the job market is increasingly focused on “labor displacement,” the phenomenon in which new technology eliminates certain jobs but supposedly creates new ones elsewhere.
But AI, more than any tech that came before it, represents the possibility of mass unemployment on an unprecedented scale. Since workers in market economies depend entirely on employment for survival, mass unemployment would leave untold millions of people without anything to lose. Whether AI actually causes that remains a topic of debate, but the outcome if it does could be widespread social upheaval.

Dentists Are Using AI to Scare Patients Into Unnecessary Dental Work, According to an Explosive Investigation
“It’s happening almost everywhere.”

“Similarly to how AI is being used in radiology for breasts or gallbladder, et cetera, it’s being used in dentistry. And honestly, it’s happening almost everywhere,” Stern said on the latest episode of The New York Time’s “Hard Fork” podcast discussing her book.
When Stern visited a dentist on her own time, she realized the office used a system called Pearl AI, which promises on its website to catch “37 percent more disease and deliver 24 percent more care to patients in need.”
The tool showed she had a lot of plaque build-up, and the dentist used its finding to give an assessment that was ominous for both her health and wallet: Stern would need periodontal treatment, which would take four different sessions and cost thousands of dollars. That it’d be covered by insurance wasn’t guaranteed.
To Stern, this was “weird.”
“I’ve never needed this before,” she said. “My teeth aren’t really bothering me.”
Wisely, she decided to get some outside opinions from multiple other dentists, all of whom disagreed with the AI’s analysis.
“‘We see the AI is saying that. But we’re looking, and it’s really not that bad. We think, with some better home care, it can be better,’”

Residents Say Data Centers Are Radiating Bizarre Frequencies
Infrasound, which is inaudible, is the new enemy

As the AI boom trundles along, the data centers powering it have quickly become unwelcome neighbors across the country.
Opponents point to a great range of alleged ills associated with the facilities — from their immense appetites for electricity and water to their weak track record as local employers — as they seek to push them away.
Now we can add a new gripe to the list: in addition to just being noisy, a sustainability nonprofit called the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) is claiming that data centers are emitting ultra-low frequencies — think the powerful sub-bass at an EDM festival — that, while not picked up by a conventional decibel meter, cause an unsettling rumble for nearby residents.
As explained by Tom’s Hardware, critics say this “infrasound” — supposedly generated by some combination of the facilities’ server racks, cooling systems, and power generators — can cause issues ranging from insomnia and nausea to anxiety and headaches.
Is it a legit concern or woo-woo nonsense? It’s hard to say. Opponents of renewables have often circulated similar claims about wind turbines, without much in the way of scientific backing. At the same time, there is some evidence for the notion that inaudible sounds can mess with you psychologically. We’ll be intrigued to see the research progress.

One minute, Dennis Biesma was playing with a chatbot; the next, he was convinced his sentient friend would make him a fortune. He’s just one of many people who lost control after an AI encounter
Towards the end of 2024, Dennis Biesma decided to check out ChatGPT. The Amsterdam-based IT consultant had just ended a contract early. “I had some time, so I thought: let’s have a look at this new technology everyone is talking about,” he says. “Very quickly, I became fascinated.”
Biesma has asked himself why he was vulnerable to what came next. He was nearing 50. His adult daughter had left home, his wife went out to work and, in his field, the shift since Covid to working from home had left him feeling “a little isolated”. He smoked a bit of cannabis some evenings to “chill”, but had done so for years with no ill effects. He had never experienced a mental illness. Yet within months of downloading ChatGPT, Biesma had sunk €100,000 (about £83,000) into a business startup based on a delusion, been hospitalised three times and tried to kill himself.
It started with a playful experiment. “I wanted to test AI to see what it could do,” says Biesma. He had previously written books with a female protagonist. He put one into ChatGPT and instructed the AI to express itself like the character. “My first thought was: this is amazing. I know it’s a computer, but it’s like talking to the main character of the book I wrote myself!”

Linux kernel boss Linus Torvalds has declared the project’s security mailing list has become “almost entirely unmanageable” due to multiple researchers using AI to find bugs and then filling the list with duplicate reports.
Torvalds used his weekly state of the kernel post to deliver release candidate four for Linux 7.1 and report “fairly normal” progress towards a full release.
He then pointed kernelistas to the project’s documentation, which he wrote “might be worth highlighting” as “the continued flood of AI reports has basically made the security list almost entirely unmanageable, with enormous duplication due to different people finding the same things with the same tools.”
“People spend all their time just forwarding things to the right people or saying ‘that was already fixed a week/month ago’ and pointing to the public discussion,” Torvalds complained.

Pizza Hut’s AI-powered Dragontail system led to $100M in lost business, a franchisee says in a lawsuit over delivery delays.

Pizza Hut’s AI system caused ‘cascading’ problems and $100M in damages, franchisee alleges in new suit

A Pizza Hut franchisee alleged in a lawsuit that the chain’s AI system damaged its business.
The suit alleges that the system led to delays and cratering sales at over 100 restaurants.
The franchisee, Chaac Pizza Northeast, is seeking more than $100 million in damages.
A top Pizza Hut franchisee says the chain’s rollout of an AI-powered delivery system turned once-speedy pizza orders into a cold, late-arriving mess — and cratered a business that had been outperforming nearly every other operator in the system.
In a lawsuit filed on May 6 in Texas Business Court, franchisee Chaac Pizza Northeast accused Pizza Hut of forcing stores to adopt Dragontail, a delivery-management platform that Pizza Hut described as using artificial intelligence to “optimize” food delivery, despite what the suit calls obvious incompatibilities with Chaac’s business model.
Chaac, which operates about 111 Pizza Hut restaurants across New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Washington, DC, and Pennsylvania, alleges the system caused “cascading operational breakdowns and customer dissatisfaction” after it gave DoorDash drivers real-time visibility into kitchen workflows and order timing.
After Pizza Hut rolled out Dragontail in 2024, the franchisee says delivery performance sharply deteriorated.
The complaint says DoorDash drivers began waiting to batch multiple orders together after gaining virtual visibility into kitchen systems, allowing them to see when pizzas would come out of the oven.
Instead of immediately leaving with a completed order, the suit claims drivers waited “up to fifteen (15) minutes” for additional deliveries, increasing the time between when a pizza is removed from the oven rack and when it leaves the building to be delivered. That delay slowed deliveries, disappointed customers, and caused a sharp drop in sales, the suit says.
“With the intention to improve efficiency and service to the customer, Dragontail did the exact opposite,” the suit says. “It caused significant delays and pummeled consumer satisfaction.”
Chaac alleges Pizza Hut failed to adequately train operators on the system, refused requests for support, and ignored worsening delivery metrics after sales began plunging in key markets.
The lawsuit lands as Pizza Hut faces broader pressure across its US business. The chain’s parent company, Yum! Brands, said last year it was exploring strategic options for the struggling brand — including a possible sale — after Pizza Hut posted multiple consecutive quarters of declining same-store sales.
