EmTech Future 2026: When AI Meets Everything
Yossi Matias, Vice President & Head of Google Research, explores how AI is beginning to reshape biology, infrastructure, manufacturing, and science, and why its greatest impact may come when it intersects with other fields.
Key points
- These are just two sessions from EmTech Future 2026.
- Across three days, EmTech Future explored some of the most important questions shaping technology right now: how AI is impacting industries, where quantum is heading, what new energy systems could make possible, how robotics are evolving, and what challenges and opportunities arise when these technologies start to converge.
- Quantum in context Hartmut Neven, founder and lead at Google Quantum AI, explores how quantum is advancing alongside other frontiers and why its significance may lie not only in what it can do on its own, but in how it begins to interact with the systems around it.
- Energy Systems for the Future Evelyn Wang, VP for energy & climate at MIT, explores how energy, computing, infrastructure, and climate technologies are increasingly interconnected, and what these converging systems could mean for the future of industry and society.
