Technology has always offered blank stares to those who paint with them. For this reason, any progress means nothing if we are the people who define and reshape the world into the form in which we live. The latest of these significant advances was made by artificial intelligence, which has been marking the technological pulse for two years. But, AI is just one step further in the evolution of civilization.
Based on the reality of what we live in and the advancement of AI, we can predict some of the technology trends that will dominate 2026 and the next few years, including those that come. the development of the developer’s work, the strategic importance of financial security and the democratization of education.
Perhaps the most tangible change in the software industry has occurred in recent years a change from the traditional programmer is the “renaissance roller” model. We recently wondered if generative coding techniques would eliminate the need for software engineers, but reality has shown that this vision lacks an understanding of what really brings business value.
AI takes care of human context. It is not concerned with internal company politics, or anticipated limitations, nor does it have the intuition to know when a technical feature will be a disaster for the user experience. Thus, We will see that the designer of 2026 will be a policeman; an orchestra director that provides services and APIs, guarantees security, and applies systems thinking.
By automating repetitive code generation and routine testing, development teams can focus on innovating and launching new features for their customers. A developer must be a creator of code to transform into an enterprise solution architect.
There will also be an increased focus on cyber security during 2026. Quantum computing holds the promise of advancements in many areas, from medical investigations to inversions, but one area we must now take seriously is security. The network is how we secure data. Malicious actors have been copying data ciphers for years, patiently hoping for the computing power necessary to crack them. The formula is close to what we imagined and those companies that accept the integral preparation They will protect your data and unlock new possibilities.
Finally, the third pillar that will define this year is personalized education. We have been working on a unique educational model for the last few years and by 2026 we will mark the end of this model thanks to AI and the cloud.
Adoption of AI teachers in places like the UK is high at 92% among students, made possible by EdTech platforms and universities harnessing the power of cloud-based models.
Global education platforms have evolved to offer engaging videos and adaptive experiences. Artificial intelligence analyzes a student’s learning pattern and adapts content in real time. A good example of the importance of this personalized learning is working with neurodivergent people in that these systems have produced great improvements in children and removed social anxiety from traditional learning. Moreover, by freeing professors from their administrative role, they can return to their true calling: mentorship and development of creativity in students.
Artificial intelligence makes us think about what makes us unique. If AI can write code, we bring purpose and context. If the process is given, we bring ethics. Technological innovation has begun and we are all invited to become our own architects.
