What can you expect about technology in the workplace in 2026? 

AI services and agents are everywhere, helping you learn and work while pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Meanwhile, AI-generated video, audio, and images are flooding social media, making what you see difficult to believe.

If you’re looking for insight into the current technological landscape, BigSpeak Speakers Bureau works with the Top Technology Speakers in the industry. These speakers are experts in the future of artificial intelligence, virtual assistants, cybersecurity, and more.

Here Are Five Tech Insights For 2026.

1) AI is going to help expose “fake boundaries.” 

According to Zack Kass, the former Head of GTM for OpenAI, AI will show new possibilities across industries. Zack calls these possibilities “Roger Bannister” moments. If you’re a sports fan, you probably remember that Roger Bannister was the first to run a four-minute mile when the world believed it wasn’t humanly possible. Within five years, fifty-seven others had done it. 

2) AI will accelerate your work, not replace your thinking.

If you’re not improving, you’re not using AI right. According to Sol Rashidi, the world’s first Chief AI Officer in 2016 and voted FORBES “AI Visionary & Maverick of the 21st Century,” AI tools should be making you and your work more valuable, not just doing the work for you. Sol understands this. She invented The Human Amplification Index™, a way to see if AI has strengthened both your business and your workforce. 

3) AI will not surpass humans. It will augment humans.

According to Tan Le, the founder and CEO of EMOTIV, the company that helped a quadriplegic drive a car with his mind, believes that AI will become not just a tool for you but a partner, integrated into your mind and life, forming a “humanistic intelligence” that will blend the speed of computers with uniquely human creativity.

4) AI can be used to scale education.

According to Adam Cheyer, the co-founder of Siri, one of the great applications of AI will be education. He sees AI technology as more of a distribution mechanism, scaling up learning to anyone with an internet connection, rather than a teaching aid itself, like Coursera and Outlier.org.

5) AI will create new challenges for cybersecurity.

According to Eric O’Neill, a cybersecurity expert and inspiration for the movie Breach, cybercriminals are now leveraging AI to create incredibly sophisticated scams. For example, cybercriminals are making AI-powered fake websites that perfectly mimic official sites, with flawless text and logos that are difficult to detect. So, you need to be even more vigilant.
