Predict 2026: AI Is The Story And This Is The Year It Comes Into Focus
Techstrong.ai, Monday, January 12th, 2026
Every year when we put on Predict, people ask me the same question. What is the big story for the year ahead?
For 2026, the answer is not subtle. AI is the story. Not just one of many stories, but the force reshaping how software is built, how infrastructure is designed, how security is enforced, and how businesses compete. That is why this year, Techstrong has named AI as our Person of the Year, the first time we have ever given that distinction to a technology.
