From stadiums to hospitals, ambient intelligence is redefining how we interact with technology, which is becoming more intuitive as it fades into the background.
It anticipates needs, frees our focus, and in 2026, marks the dawn of the true ambient era.
"The attention dividend is the true ROI of ambient intelligence, measured in hours of life returned, not just dollars saved.”
Ritesh Menon, VP of Technology at Globant
DataM Intelligence projects that the ambient intelligence market will soar to $182 billion by 2032.
"Synthetic humans will be your digital friends in the digital ecosystem. A friend you would want to talk to again and again, who understands you, doesn't judge, with whom you don't get bored, and whom you can confide in.”

AI-Powered Cybersecurity:
From Reaction to Prediction
In 2026, cybersecurity isn’t just about responding to attacks: it’s about staying one step ahead. Hackers are using the same AI tools as enterprises: fast, scalable, and relentless platforms that expose vulnerabilities faster than any human could. If your defense isn’t AI-first, you’re already playing catch-up. The numbers tell the story:
$24 trillion — projected global cost of cybercrime by 2027 (USAID)
$1.9 million — average savings per breach when AI is used.
97% — Organizations that experienced an AI-related security incident without proper AI access controls.
This isn’t a race against attackers; it’s evolution at machine speed.
“AI isn’t just changing how we work, it’s redefining how we protect what matters. Now, AI is giving organizations the ability to see ahead, move faster, and turn chaos into control”
