2025 has become the year when artificial intelligence (AI) is fully integrated into human daily life. The influence of AI is ubiquitous in work, entertainment, learning, and research. Forbes magazine recently reported that by 2026, the long-term impact of AI will become increasingly clear and continue to create new possibilities for humanity: from driving improvements in healthcare and education, to assisting scientific discoveries, to optimizing daily affairs and improving the quality of life in various ways. AI is no longer just a digital tool behind the screen, but is gradually becoming a tangible participant in the physical world, exerting a profound impact on the physical systems and operational mechanisms around people. AI will move beyond mobile applications and computer programs, entering homes, factories, and offices, becoming a visible and perceptible reality. These "physical AI" come in various forms, collectively forming an intelligent entity network, and will redefine the interaction and interdependence between humans and technology. At the same time, human society also needs to face a series of accompanying challenges, such as increasing energy consumption and related issues such as employment. AI agents integrated into daily AI agents refer to intelligent systems that can autonomously plan, execute, and continuously optimize workflows to complete complex tasks. Undoubtedly, AI agents have become the "new star" of the technology industry by 2025; And by 2026, it is expected to truly mature. Imagine that it can not only answer questions and generate content like ChatGPT, but also actively handle daily affairs such as purchasing daily necessities, planning travel routes, and even linking with smart homes to help you manage household chores. In the workplace, AI will no longer be just an auxiliary tool. They can coordinate and advance complex projects, actively communicate and collaborate with external personnel or systems, and gradually achieve medium - and long-term goals. By 2026, emerging professions will accelerate their emergence, and the long-term impact of AI and automation on work methods will be concentrated: a group of emerging professions will rapidly rise, while some traditional positions will inevitably decline or even disappear. As knowledge workers entrust routine and administrative tasks to AI and intelligent systems, the positioning of many professions and the roles of practitioners will also change accordingly. People will see more clearly that emerging positions such as prompt word engineers, AI integration experts, and ethical governance experts are bringing unprecedented value to businesses. On the other hand, some companies may also take the opportunity to reduce manpower and expenses, leading to the gradual normalization of layoffs and unemployment. In this era of deep reconstruction of the employment landscape through human-machine collaboration, adaptation and transformation are becoming unavoidable issues for every professional in the workplace. Scientists from Imperial College London have recently completed an "AI upgrade" for a stethoscope that has a history of over 200 years, by embedding it into routine medical procedures. According to the National Institute of Health and Care in the UK, this new intelligent stethoscope is only the size of a playing card and can accurately identify three common heart problems - heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and heart valve disease - with the help of AI technology by placing it on the patient's chest for only 15 seconds. This innovation marks the gradual integration of AI into routine medical processes. At present, AI has played a role in assisting doctors in diagnosing diseases, monitoring patient recovery, and developing new drugs. By 2026, it is expected to further advance from the experimental exploration stage and fully enter a new era of clinical routine application. It is predicted that up to 90% of the content on the Internet will be generated by AI by 2026. Nowadays, people have seen that such synthetic content is often used to spread false information. The value of synthetic content lies in its ability to quickly analyze high-speed data streams that are difficult for humans to handle and extract key insights. But once it attempts to replace human thinking and experience, it loses its true foundation and people will be submerged in a flood of mediocre and low value information. By 2026, the biggest challenge for those who truly possess valuable experience and are willing to share wisdom will be how to prevent their creativity and voice from being swallowed up by the wave of "AI junk content" and always being seen and heard. With the continuous rapid development of AI, 2026 will be the year when these innovative technologies truly "fly into ordinary people's homes". From industrial upgrading to new ethical dilemmas, this transformation contains both opportunities and hidden challenges. Whether it is enterprises, workers, or individuals, if they want to maintain competitiveness in the next decade, they must pay attention to and adapt to these profound changes. (New Society)
