Google Research’s Yossi Matias and Google Quantum AI’s Hartmut Neven led sessions on AI convergence and quantum frontiers.
MIT Technology Review has released the full EmTech Future 2026 program on demand. The event covered how AI affects industries, how quantum systems are advancing, what new energy systems could enable, how robotics are evolving, and what emerges when these technologies converge.
Yossi Matias, vice president and head of Google Research, explored how AI is beginning to reshape biology, infrastructure, manufacturing, and science. Hartmut Neven, founder and lead at Google Quantum AI, discussed quantum’s advance alongside other frontiers. Evelyn Wang, MIT’s vice president for energy and climate, examined connections among energy, computing, infrastructure, and climate technologies.
Builders and operators can use the sessions to map how AI projects interact with adjacent systems. That matters as AI deployments increasingly depend on energy, hardware, data infrastructure, and scientific workflows. Teams evaluating long-term roadmaps should account for convergence across these domains rather than treat each technology in isolation.
MIT Technology Review offers the full EmTech Future 2026 program on demand for subscribers. Operators should watch for follow-up research that tests whether convergence improves real industrial outcomes. The next signal will come from deployments that combine these technologies rather than discuss them separately.
What matters
- MIT Technology Review opened on-demand access to all EmTech Future 2026 sessions.
- Builders can study how AI converges with quantum, energy, robotics, and biology across industries.
- Next, operators should track how AI, quantum, and energy systems converge in real deployments.
Why it matters
Next, operators should track how AI, quantum, and energy systems converge in real deployments.
