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.

Anthropic Just Sent Shockwaves Through the Entire Stock Market by Releasing a New AI Tool
A minor update with major consequences.
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/anthropic-shockwaves-stock-market
Last week, Anthropic released a new AI tool for automating legal work, precipitating a mass stock market selloff over fears that the tech could upend huge software customers in industries ranging from law to finance, Reuters reports — an urgent example of the power that AI currently has over financial markets and even the economy writ large.
The S&P 500 software and services index fell by nearly nine percent over five trading sessions, and is down over 20 percent from its October peak following the release of the AI tool. The Nasdaq 100 Index is similarly despondent, down by around 2.6 percent.

Maan isoin hitti on tekoälyn tekemä – pitäisikö meidänkin soittaa sitä?
Ruotsissa tätä on mietitty alkuvuodesta, kun Spotifyn soitetuimpana kappaleena on roikkunut Jacub-nimisen tekoälyartistin Jag vet, du är inte min. Maan viralliselta singlelistalta se poistettiin jo, koska listalle ei hyväksytä AI:lla tehtyä musiikkia. Radioita tällainen sääntö ei koske.

How to reduce the risks of AI-generated code
opinion
Feb 5, 2026
7 mins
https://www.infoworld.com/article/4122228/how-to-reduce-the-risks-of-ai-generated-code.html
Vibe coding is the latest tech accelerator, and yes, it kind of rocks. New AI-assisted coding practices are helping developers ship new applications faster, and they’re even allowing other business professionals to prototype workflows and tools without waiting for a full engineering cycle.
Using a chatbot and tailored prompts, vibe coders can build applications in a flash and get them into production within days. Gartner even estimates that by 2028, 40% of new enterprise software will be built with vibe coding tools and techniques, rather than traditional, human-led waterfall or agile software development methods. The speed is intoxicating, so I, for one, am not surprised by that prediction.
The challenge here is that when those who aren’t coders—and even some of those who do work with code for a living—get an application that does exactly what they want, they think the work is over. In truth, it has only just begun.
After the app, then comes the maintenance: updating the app, patching it, scaling it, and defending it. And before you expose real users and data to risk, you must first understand the route that AI took to get your new app working.
Vibe coding is fast, useful, and here to stay. The freedom it brings must be matched with awareness that security is necessary and cannot be assumed.
Tomi Engdahl says:
Ideally, the end result is a working app that follows software development best practices based on what AI has learned and produced before. However, AI might just help you produce an application that functions and looks great, but is fragile, inefficient, or insecure at the foundational level.
Tomi Engdahl says:
Start with awareness. Use existing security frameworks to check that your application is secure. Microsoft’s STRIDE threat model is a practical way to sanity-check a vibe-coded application before it goes live. STRIDE stands for:
Spoofing
Tampering
Repudiation
Information disclosure
Denial of service
Elevation of privilege
Use STRIDE as a guide to ask yourself the uncomfortable questions before someone else does.
Can someone pretend to be another user?
Does the app leak data through errors, logs, or APIs?
Are there rate limits and timeouts, or can requests be spammed?
To prevent those potential issues, you can check that your new vibe-coded application handles identities correctly and is secure by default. On top of this, you should make sure that the app code doesn’t have any embedded credentials that others can access.
These real-world concerns are common to all applications, whether they’re built by AI or humans. Being aware of issues preemptively allows you to take practical steps toward a more robust defense. This takes you from “it works” to “we understand how it could fail.”

Circular Reasoning
Uh Oh… Nvidia’s $100 Billion Deal With OpenAI Has Fallen Apart
Who could have ever foreseen this?
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/nvidia-100-billion-deal-openai-fallen-apart
AI chipmaker Nvidia has been at the center of the enormous AI hype wave that has gripped global markets, ascending to become the most valuable company in the world.
Yet despite its dominating presence on Wall Street, OpenAI is getting cold feet about the company’s offerings.
After announcing a blockbuster $100 billion deal in September — which escalated concerns of AI companies passing the same money around in circular dealmaking — the ChatGPT maker may have changed its mind, as the Wall Street Journal reported last week.
But sources told Reuters this week that the Sam Altman-led outfit has deemed Nvidia’s latest chips not up to snuff, especially when it comes to AI inference, the process of using a machine learning model to generate new data, which has become a major focus for OpenAI.
After months of negotiations, the deal with Nvidia was expected to close within weeks. In the meantime, OpenAI has signed major deals with competing chipmaker AMD, among others.
Then, on Tuesday, Bloomberg reported that Nvidia was nearing a deal to invest $20 billion in OpenAI instead — a mere fifth of what was originally on the table
That the larger deal fell apart highlights ongoing tensions as US software companies continue to grapple with investors getting cold feet over the AI industry’s astronomical spending plans. Despite trillions of dollars of commitments to scale up AI infrastructure, companies aren’t expected to make any profit for many years to come.
Both Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Altman have since publicly denied that there’s been any strain on the relationship between the two companies.

Tech Stack for Vibe Coding Modern Applications
Stop fighting AI. Use a tech stack AI understands and can build a paid SaaS within minutes.
https://www.kdnuggets.com/tech-stack-for-vibe-coding-modern-applications
. I believed I could write better code, design cleaner systems, and make more thoughtful architectural decisions on my own. For a long time, that was probably true. Over time, things changed. AI agents improved significantly. MCP servers, Claude skills, agent workflows, planning-first execution, and long-horizon coding tools turned vibe coding from a gimmick into a practical way to build real systems.
At some point, I gave in. Since then, I have been using Claude Code and OpenCode to build systems that I would normally consider too complex for rapid iteration. These include payment platforms, stablecoin wallets, book reading applications, and full-stack production-ready web systems. What surprised me was not just the speed, but the consistency of results once the right structure and tools were in place.
The real problem most people face with vibe coding is not writing code.
It is choosing the right tech stack.
Frontend, backend, authentication, databases, storage, email, payments, and deployment all come with countless options. Without a clear stack, even strong AI coding agents struggle to make good decisions. When an agent is given a well-defined and opinionated tech stack, it can reliably build an end-to-end application with far less friction.
That is what this article focuses on.
The stack
Next.js (App Router) -> Frontend and layouts
shadcn/ui -> UI components
Server Actions + Routes -> Backend logic and webhooks
Supabase -> Database, auth, storage
Resend -> Transactional emails
Stripe -> Payments and subscriptions
Vercel -> Deployment and previews

Clouds rush to deliver OpenClaw-as-a-service offerings
As analyst house Gartner declares AI tool ‘comes with unacceptable cybersecurity risk’ and urges admins to snuff it out
https://www.theregister.com/2026/02/04/cloud_hosted_openclaw/
If you’re brave enough to want to run the demonstrably insecure AI assistant OpenClaw, several clouds have already started offering it as a service.
OpenClaw, the name its developer Peter Steinberger settled on after changing from Clawdbot to Moltbot, is a platform for AI agents. Users can provide it with their credentials to various online services and prompt OpenClaw to operate them by issuing instructions in messaging apps like Telegram or WhatsApp. Steinberger says it “clears your inbox, sends emails, manages your calendar, checks you in for flights.”
Using OpenClaw’s AI features requires access to an AI model, either by connecting to an API or by running one locally. The latter possibility apparently sparked a rush to buy Apple’s $599 Mac Mini

https://mobiili.fi/2026/02/04/paljastus-googlen-gemini-tekoaly-saamassa-mahdollisuuden-ohjata-android-puhelinta/
Google kehittää Geminiin uutta ominaisuutta, joka mahdollistaisi Gemini-tekoälypalvelun entistä syvemmän integraation Android-puhelimiin.
Tulevalla ominaisuudella Gemini voisi tulevaisuudessa suorittaa tehtäviä suoraan käyttäjän puolesta käyttämällä eri sovelluksia.
Google-sovelluksen 17.4-beetatestiversion syövereistä on löytynyt viittauksia Get tasks done with Gemini -nimiseen toimintoon, joka on osa Googlen Labs-kokeiluja. Asiasta kertoo 9to5Google-sivusto.
Sisäinen koodinimi uudistukselle on bonobo.
Uudella ominaisuudellaan Gemini voisi auttaa esimerkiksi tilausten tekemisessä tai kyytien varaamisessa hyödyntämällä niin sanottua näyttöautomaatiota tietyissä sovelluksissa.
Android 16 -käyttöjärjestelmän uusi QPR3-versio luo teknisen pohjan näytön kautta tapahtuvaan sovellusten ohjaamiseen.
Ilmeisesti kehitteillä oleva ominaisuus ei kuitenkaan olisi käytettävissä kaikissa sovelluksissa, vaan vain Googlen erikseen tukemissa tapauksissa. Paljastuneissa käyttäjälle näytettävissä varoituksissa todetaan myös, että tekoäly voi tehdä virheitä ja että käyttäjä on itse vastuussa Geminin toimista. Tehtävän suorittaminen on mahdollista keskeyttää milloin tahansa ja jatkaa manuaalisesti.
Tietosuojaan liittyen Google huomauttaa, että Geminin ollessa vuorovaikutuksessa sovellusten kanssa ruutukaappauksia voidaan tarkistaa koulutettujen arvioijien toimesta, mikäli toimintahistoria-asetus on käytössä. Lisäksi käyttäjiä kehotetaan olemaan syöttämättä kirjautumis- tai maksutietoja Gemini-keskusteluihin sekä välttämään näyttöautomaation käyttöä hätätilanteissa tai arkaluonteisissa tehtävissä.
Toistaiseksi ei ole tiedossa, milloin Google aikoo nämä nyt paljastuneet uudistukset esitellä virallisesti osaksi Geminiä.

Copilot-brändillä lisätyt tekoälytoiminnot löytyvät nykyisin Windowsista itsestään, mutta myös Muistiosta eli Notepadista, piirto-ohjelma Paintista ja tietysti yhtiön selaimesta, Edgestä.
Mutta Windows Centralin tietojen mukaan yhtiössä olisi nyt herätty arvioimaan tekoälyvyöryä hieman tarkemmin.
Julkaisun saamien tietojen mukaan Microsoft on toistaiseksi keskeyttänyt tulevat suunnitelmat tekoälynappien lisäämiseksi uusiin Windowsista löytyviin apuohjelmiin sekä ryhtynyt arvioimaan uudestaan sitä, tarvitaanko erillistä Copilot-nappia vaikkapa niinkin yksinkertaisessa perussovelluksessa kuin Muistiossa.
Isoa kuvaa tuumaustauko ei kuitenkaan pysäytä, vaan Windowsin sisäinen haku on muuttumassa ns. semanttiseksi hauksi ja Windowsiin on rakenteilla tekoälytoimintoja tarjoava ohjelmointirajapinta (API), jolla sovellusten tekoälytoiminnot voivat keskustella keskenään agenttimaisesti.

Anthropic Just Sent Shockwaves Through the Entire Stock Market by Releasing a New AI Tool
A minor update with major consequences.
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/anthropic-shockwaves-stock-market
Last week, Anthropic released a new AI tool for automating legal work, precipitating a mass stock market selloff over fears that the tech could upend huge software customers in industries ranging from law to finance, Reuters reports — an urgent example of the power that AI currently has over financial markets and even the economy writ large.

AI Apocalypse Without Blockbusters: What Will Happen When Robots Become The Norm
https://lasoft.org/blog/ai-apocalypse-without-blockbusters-what-will-happen-when-robots-become-the-norm/
Humanoid robots are marching across our feeds again. China shows factories staffed by chrome-faced workers who never blink, never sleep, never join unions. Startups in the US and Europe film glossy demos, and the public reacts with a familiar mix of excitement and panic: “This is it. This is how the machines take over.”
But that fear is a distraction—a cinematic leftover from decades of blockbusters that trained us to imagine the apocalypse as a metal army running out of smoke. The real danger has never been in the legs, sensors, or servo motors. Robots are instruments. They do what someone—or something—tells them to do. And humanity has already built more than enough ways to destroy itself without needing an army of android extras.
If a state, a corporation, or an autonomous system wants harm, it doesn’t need a robot uprising. It needs a line of code. A misaligned model. A wrong instruction executed perfectly. Catastrophe doesn’t require Terminators. It only requires scale, automation, and the human tendency to delegate responsibility faster than we learn to manage it.
