Where Is AI In 2026 and Where Is It Going?

Presented by AI Safety Awareness Project

A free, public workshop—no technical background needed

​​​​​​​​In just the past 8 months, AI has advanced at a pace that stunned even leading experts. These systems aren’t science fiction anymore—they’re reshaping work, relationships, and even crime in real time.

​​​​​​​​This workshop explores where AI may be in the next 1–5 years and what that means for your daily life. Together, we’ll tackle urgent questions like:

  • ​​​​​​​​Jobs: Could AI lead to mass unemployment—or entirely new kinds of work?

  • ​​​​​​​​Crime: How might AI supercharge scams, hacking, and even physical crime?

  • ​​​​​​​​Companions: Will people form deep emotional bonds—or even romantic relationships—with AI assistants?

  • ​​​​​​​​Society: How do top researchers think these trends will shape our future?

​​​​​​​​What you’ll get:

  • ​​​​​​​​A fast-paced, beginner-friendly overview of today’s most powerful AI systems

  • ​​​​​​​​Live demos that reveal both the breakthroughs and the risks

  • ​​​​​​​​An interactive forecasting exercise where you’ll test your own predictions about AI’s impact

​​​​​​​​Come ready to explore a future arriving faster than most people realize—one that could transform not just how we work, but how we trust, connect, and even love.
