Hello Glenn,
AI is evolving fast—reshaping how we work, learn, create, and connect in real time.
To understand what’s coming next, we turned to the people building, researching, and reimagining AI every day: Mozilla Fellows.
These leading tech thinkers share grounded, human first predictions for the year ahead—offering a clear view of what’s at stake and what trustworthy AI must look like in the years to come. Watch their 2026 predictions now.
Here’s a glimpse of what our Fellows see on the horizon:

War: What is AI good for?
From battlefield decisions to mass surveillance, AI is reshaping conflict faster than the world can respond. Sarra explains why 2026 is a critical moment to demand accountability—and protect people before profit or power.

These predictions point to a simple truth: the best version of our tech future starts with people. When we support those advancing digital rights and building trustworthy AI, we help keep people at the center of what comes
next.
As we enter 2026, our Fellows make one thing clear: AI’s future isn’t predetermined. It’s in motion—and together, we can help lift it toward something better.
Grateful to be a part of this alongside you,
Lindsey Dodson
Director, Global Grants
