MIT Technology Review's EmTech Future 2026 is now available on demand. Yossi Matias, VP and head of Google Research, explores how AI is reshaping biology, infrastructure, manufacturing and science, arguing its greatest impact may come at the intersections with other fields.
The three-day program covers AI's industry impact, where quantum is heading, new energy systems, robotics evolution, and the challenges and opportunities as these technologies converge; Hartmut Neven, founder of Google Quantum AI, discusses how quantum matters through interaction with surrounding systems.
