SHIFT AI Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Shodai Kouchi; hereinafter "our company"), which operates "SHIFT AI," Japan's No.1 AI learning community※ by number of users, with the mission of "making Japan an AI-advanced nation," presents the June 2026 AI Trends Report.

The Day Doomsday Talk Entered the U.S. Congress A symbolic event occurred just one week after the Japanese edition's release. On April 29, 2026 (U.S. time), U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders hosted a public panel at the Capitol on the topic of 'existential risk to humanity from AI.' Panelists included world-leading researchers such as Max Tegmark from MIT and David Krueger from the University of Montreal. It was reported that Sanders opened the session by warning that the world's wealthiest and most powerful people are building an "unstoppable runaway train"—a technology whose control and destination even they cannot understand. Tegmark reportedly stated that he considers the risk of human extinction due to AI to be even higher than the 10–20% estimated by pioneers like Hinton. This is the reality of 2026: discussions about the poss
