Where is AI in 2026 and Where is it Going? — Virtual Workshop Series is a free, public workshop designed for people who want a clear, non-technical look at how AI could shape daily life in the next one to five years. The session explores questions around jobs, crime, human relationships with AI assistants, and the broader ways top researchers think these trends may influence society. Attendees can expect a beginner-friendly overview of today’s most powerful AI systems, live demos that highlight both advances and risks, and an interactive forecasting exercise that invites participants to test their own predictions about AI’s impact. As the first session in a three-part series, it offers a practical starting point for anyone interested in understanding where AI may be headed and what that could mean in real life.
