I've worked in the AI space for 15 years. I served as an early beta tester for OpenAI in 2020, when I predicted that a little model called GPT-3 had world-changing potential."
"It was later released as something called "ChatGPT" -perhaps you've heard of it?

Based on my experience, here are my six AI predictions for 2026 and beyond. 1. OpenAI goes garlic In late 2025, Google's Gemini model started to gain ground on OpenAI and its GPT-5.1 system."
AI systems now generate realistic images and videos, create humanlike chatbots, power platform-scale experiences, and enable virtual recreation of deceased people. Rapid advances in generative models have produced new tools such as video generators and fully AI-powered social apps. Competition between major companies has intensified, with Google's Gemini gaining ground on OpenAI's GPT-5.1 and prompting emergency development responses. Leadership and teams have shifted priorities under competitive pressure, including urgent directives to focus on outperforming rivals. Multiple major AI trends are projected for 2026 and beyond, emphasizing capability growth, platform integration, and corporate rivalry.
