(7 Min. Read) 2026 is the Year AI Leaps Ahead. Here’s How You Can Use AI to Prepare
According to the International Standards Organization (ISO), in 2026, Artificial Intelligence (AI) will mature in five key ways: it will act autonomously, blur the line between digital and physical systems, adopt global ethical standards, integrate measurable accountability through ISO/IEC 42001:2023, and create new work opportunities for people who prepare now.
2026: THE DAWN OF AUTONOMOUS INTELLIGENCE
2026 will be the first year Artificial intelligence “acts”. Innovation shifts from tools to teammates, from prompts to partnerships.
By 2026, digital and physical boundaries are expected to blur. AI agents manage workflows, make decisions, and collaborate directly with people.
GLOBAL STANDARDS AND RESPONSIBLE INNOVATION
Global standards now shape this evolution. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42) sets the rules for transparency, safety, and governance. These frameworks define how responsible AI systems operate across healthcare, finance, education, and creative industries.
The new international standard, ISO/IEC 42001:2023, establishes a global framework for building, deploying, and managing AI responsibly. It defines requirements for transparency, accountability, risk management, and continuous improvement. The standard helps organizations prove that their AI systems operate ethically, protect data, and align with international expectations for safety and governance. In practice, it turns responsible AI from an idea into a measurable management system that regulators, investors, and users can trust.
PREPARING FOR 2026 AND BEYOND
The good news is everyone here in this community is already on their way. If you are starting your journey with AI, focus on these four steps to position yourself for what comes next:
• Learn the language of AI. Take free courses from Google, OpenAI, or DeepLearning.AI to understand how models think and what terms like “agents,” “tokens,” and “training data” mean.
• Experiment with purpose. Use tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini to solve real problems that matter to you.
• Protect your data and ethics. Study the ISO/IEC 42001:2023 standard and apply responsible AI practices in your work.
• Build your portfolio. Save your prompts, workflows, and small automations as prototypes that show your growth and innovation. Those prompts and processes are your intellectual property. Protect them like you protect money.
Finally, you can set up a persistent search with ChatGPT or another AI tool that will help you stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in AI.
All you have to do is ask your favorite AI tool to set up a search to bring you news on the latest advancements in AI. Just pick a day, time of day, and what exact topics that you would like to have delivered to your inbox and you will be far ahead of most of the global population in staying ahead of the curve.
