AI Careers in 2026 — What Should You Do Now? Live Dialogue with Industry & Research Leaders

​The technology job market is evolving faster than most universities can adapt.

​Across disciplines, many students are asking the same questions:

​Where should I go from here?

​Where are the real opportunities?

​What should I focus on if I want to work in AI in 2026?

​What if I’m considering research or academia?

​This session brings together experts from the MIT and Harvard ecosystem — spanning industry, research, and applied AI — to share how the landscape is actually changing.
