"The top emerging technology was a type of machine learning called reinforcement learning, in which a system learns by trial and error. This is a versatile mode of AI because it enables systems to make sequential decisions in complex, changing environments."
"The Momentum 100 concept was to use the indices to filter emerging technologies and provide an interesting lens that we could repeat on an annual basis."
The 2026 Momentum 100 list predicts rapid growth for machine learning, blockchain databases, and 3D printing. Other notable technologies include soft robotics, augmented reality, and 'omics. The list was created using the Cosmos 1.0 data set, which utilized a large language model to analyze thousands of Wikipedia pages. This data set can be filtered by various indices, such as technology age and Wikipedia pageview trends. Reinforcement learning emerged as the top technology, known for its ability to learn through trial and error in complex environments.
