Der neue #AITrendsReport2026 ist da.
20 zentrale KI-Trends. 100+ Seiten Analyse.
Hier ist mein Take:
.
KI ist 2026 nicht mehr "neu".
Sie steht tief in der Bringschuld.

Die letzten Monate haben das KI-Narrativ fundamental gedreht:

Vom globalen Hype hin zur globalen Zitterpartie.
Überzogene Erwartungen treffen auf harte ROI-Realität.
Massive Compute- und Energieinvestitionen auf skeptische Investoren.
Regulierung auf eine neue, geopolitisch veränderte Welt.

Der Markt beginnt sich zu sortieren.
Der lustige Teil der Show ist vorbei.

2026 spielt sich im massiven Spannungsfeld zwischen dem technisch Möglichen und dem praktisch Machbaren ab.

Die "Jagged Frontier" dominiert die Diskussion.

Die Frage ist nicht mehr:
Was ist theoretisch möglich?

Sondern:
Was funktioniert wirklich, operativ und ökonomisch sinnvoll.

Orientierung liefert der neue AI-Trends-Report 2026 von statworx und dem AI Hub Frankfurt, der heute erschienen ist.

Key Facts:
- 20 zentrale KI-Trends aus Technologie, Wirtschaft, Politik und Gesellschaft
- 100+ Seiten Analysen, Einordnung, Praxisbeispiele, Videos & Ressourcen
- 70+ Stimmen führender Expert:innen aus Industrie, Forschung und Politik

Mit Beiträgen u. a. von:
Walid Mehanna, Daniel Kapffer, Agnes Heftberger, Matthias Metzner, Armand Zorn, Luise Hölscher, Peter Stockhorst, Britta Daffner, Christian Lang, Stefanie Babka, Adrian Müller, Johanna Biedinger, Verena Dollberg, Catharina Glugla, Michael Berns, Henry Byers, Nico Baum, Dieter Konrad, CFA, Timm Jäger, Elika Shahmohammadi, Lennard Schmidt, Michael Dietz, Peter Buxmann, Glen Coates – und vielen weiteren.

Auch in diesem Jahr habe ich die Einleitung beigesteuert mit Fokus auf das Big Picture: Investitionen, Energie, Rechenleistung, Regulierung und politische Abhängigkeiten – und die Implikationen für Deutschland, Europa und die USA.

2026 wird kein Jahr für verklärte KI-Romantik.
Es wird das Jahr der Entscheidungen.

1️⃣0️⃣ Years of building AI at statworx 🚀
And: why cold plunging > stepping into cold water
.
This week, we celebrate a very special milestone: Daniel Lüttgau, our Head of AI Development, has his 10-year anniversary at statworx.

Almost exactly a decade ago, Daniel joined the company when AI was still far from mainstream and the company itself was at a totally different stage.

From day one, it was clear that Daniel wasn't just another hire. He took ownership from day one and quickly brought strong business- and value-driven thinking to our small company at the time.

Fast forward to today:

Daniel is our Head of AI Development and one of the key pillars of statworx. He has shaped how we develop and integrate AI solutions, scale technical excellence, and translate cutting-edge tech into real-world impact. Furthermore, he has built structures and teams, mentored individuals, set standards, and successfully completed an MBA.

Fun fact:

(Very) shortly after joining statworx, Daniel got his first project, which he casually turned into a multi-year, multi-project collaboration with the client. Daniel did not step into cold water, he went straight to cold plunge mode 🚀

Real talk:

Daniel, statworx would not be where it is today without you. Your loyalty, consistency, and commitment over the last 10 years are anything but normal, especially in our industry.

I am extremely grateful for everything you’ve contributed, and for the way you continue to push statworx forward.

#THANK #YOU for 10 years of impact, and here’s to the next chapter.
