AI Predictions for 2026 on Social Media

Experiments were conducted with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to predict trends on social media for 2026. The AI predicted that videos will become increasingly shorter, with an emphasis on speed and immediacy. It also forecasts a division of influencers into those who are human and those created by AI, with audiences interacting more with avatars than with real people. Furthermore, the AI predicts that personal branding will focus on moods, closed groups will become more popular, and politics on social media will become more professional and measurable. Finally, the AI foresees a rise of the silent user, who observes but does not interact, which will worry the platforms.
