This is amazing. Right after today's Daily Tech Update, I'm going to play for you a great clip from my nationally syndicated radio show. It's called, I know, The Kim Commander Show. Funny how that works. And hey, if you're not subscribed to it wherever you get your podcasts, what are you doing? You're missing out. You need this intel to live in today's world. This week, we're looking at tech in 2026. Today's topic, AI and the massive shift that's coming. Not to AI itself, but how we live with it. I'm Kim Commando for The Current, my five-star rated newsletter read by almost a million people like you. Sign up for free at GetKim.com. Think about how much AI has changed our lives in only three years. Fewer people Google things, even fewer check Wikipedia.

But now AI is something that you go to, a destination. That's about to change. This year, AI stops being a place that you visit. It's going to be baked into your work tools, your social media, your apps. You won't go to AI anymore. AI will be waiting on your phone in your car, embedded in everything that you touch.

What significant changes in AI are expected in 2026?

Kim Komando 1:02
And instead of typing questions, you'll talk. out loud, casually, like you're chatting with a computer on Star Trek, a show set in the 23rd century. For once, science fiction showed up early.

A clip from my weekend show, The Kim Commando Show. It's pretty much the best radio show in the world, but I may be just a little biased. Sit back and enjoy. Ever heard of the audience effect? It's when we change our behavior when we think we're being watched. Well, online, we're always being watched. Your internet provider tracks everything you do, even in private mode.

Now, you might remember I told you about how Chinese hackers and anthropics clawed code. They were hacking major organizations and foreign governments.

How will AI become integrated into our daily lives?

Kim Komando 2:46
If you missed that, is that Anthropix Claude was being used by Chinese hackers and the hackers were saying like, how do I get into this? And what's the secret password here? Or what's the secret door there? And they actually were able to do it. But meanwhile, Stanford University Research built its own AI bot to specifically do this. It's called Artemis. It's an AI bot that could beat hackers at their own game. They released the bot into Stanford's own engineering network with a simple mission. Find all the bugs, find all the holes, and we want you to break in. Artemis defeated nine out of the 10 humans. It scanned the network. It found vulnerabilities at lightning speed. A human hacking pro charges $2,500 a day to do this.
Kim Komando 3:38
It cost just $60 for the Stanford AI to do it.
Unknown 3:42
Remember we had the hacker on the show and he was doing projects, $50,000, $100,000. Oh, that's right. I forgot about him. He's out of a job. He's on the unemployment line. He was a nice guy. He's going to have to go back, you know, to evil hacking.
Kim Komando 3:58
And speaking of police, this is pretty wild. You're watching the news, there's been a shooting. Police release a clear image of the suspect. Here's the thing, it's not a photograph, it's AI. You see, police departments are ditching the sketch pad for software. Back in November, after a shooting in Goodyear, Arizona, forensic artist interviewed a witness and fed the description directly into AI.
