"AI will gain more of a foothold in our lives while the way we watch TV will continue to evolve"
"How will tech affect the world, and your life, in 2026? Will the EU cave to the US on tech regulation? Will the AI bubble burst? Which big tech companies look likely to thrive or dive? And will dodgy box users really be fined?"
AI will increasingly integrate into daily life, powering assistants, content creation, automation, and personalization across consumer and business applications. Television consumption will continue to migrate toward streaming platforms, personalized recommendations, and interactive formats, reducing traditional linear viewing. Regulatory tensions between the EU and the US will influence data rules, competition policy, and platform obligations, with potential compromises or divergent approaches. Valuations for AI companies may face speculative swings, leaving room for market corrections. Major technology firms will see disparate outcomes depending on strategy, product focus, and regulatory exposure. Enforcement against illicit streaming devices may intensify, including fines for some users.
