Generation AI: 2026 Consumer Trends and Predictions

AI is no longer a work tool. In 2026, it becomes the interface to everyday life. Join Matt Britton, CEO of Suzy and author of Generation AI, as he delivers a sharp, consumer-first forecast of how AI is reshaping daily behavior, commerce, and creativity: and what brands must do next. Drawing from The Speed of Culture podcast and real-time consumer insight, Matt explores the rise of Generation Alpha as the first AI-native generation, the emergence of AI as the new front door of the internet, the rapid normalization of chat-based shopping, and why hyperpersonalization is no longer a differentiator, but a baseline expectation. This insightful share will close with a bold provocation: AI signals the beginning of the end of the knowledge economy as a new era emerges where value is defined by judgment, speed, and relevance.
