Top 6 AI Trends That Will Define 2026 (backed by data)

From the creator

Most #AI predictions are speculation. This video covers six trends backed by data from McKinsey, Stanford, #OpenAI, and Epoch AI, with specific steps you can take for each one. You'll learn why the "best model" debate no longer matters, how AI workflows are outperforming autonomous agents in real enterprise settings, and why your file management system now directly impacts how useful AI can be for your work. Each trend includes concrete examples and a clear action item. *TIMESTAMPS* 00:00 Top 6 AI Trends That Will Define 2026 00:24 Trend 1: Models Won’t Matter Much Anymore 02:55 Trend 2: Year of AI Workflows, NOT AI Agents 05:33 Trend 3: The End of the Technical Divide 07:13 Trend 4: The Rise of Context Engineering 09:12 Trend 5: Advertising Comes to Chatbots 10:46 Trend 6: From Chatbots to Robots *RESOURCES MENTIONED* Sources mentioned: https://www.jeffsu.org/6-ai-trends-that-actually-matter-for-your-work-in-2026?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=196 🦾 AI Systems Academy - https://systemsacademy.ai/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=196 Free AI Toolkit: https://academy.jeffsu.org/ai-toolkit?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=196 Essential Power Prompts: https://www.notion.com/templates/essential-power-prompts-jeff-su *BUILD A POWERFUL WORKFLOW* 📈 The Workspace Academy - https://academy.jeffsu.org/workspace-academy?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=196 ✍️ My Notion Command Center - https://www.pressplay.cc/link/s/DE1C4C50 *BE MY FRIEND:* 📧 Subscribe to my newsletter - https://www.jeffsu.org/newsletter/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=description 📸 Instagram - https://instagram.com/j.sushie 🤝 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jsu05/ *MY FAVORITE GEAR* 🎬 My YouTube Gear - https://www.jeffsu.org/yt-gear/ 🎒 Everyday Carry - https://www.jeffsu.org/my-edc/ #2026

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
