Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
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.
Chapter 2: What significant changes in AI are expected in 2026?
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. And with times changing like this, you really need my free five-star rated newsletter. Sign up right now at GetKim.com. And now, as promised, drumroll please. Okay, that was pretty lame.

Chapter 3: How will AI become integrated into our daily lives?
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.
It cost just $60 for the Stanford AI to do it.
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.
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.
He typed in something like beanie, light skin, goatee, brown eyes, pensive look. The AI generated a photo-realistic face instantly. The witness sat there, suggested tiny tweaks like widen the jaw, darken the eyes, and the AI adjusted it all in real time. The result, they posted the image on Facebook and it looked so real that tips came flooding in.
And speaking of, never trust people who sketch facial composites for police reports. You know why? They're just con artists. Oh, I know that one hurt me.
