I am calling 2026 The Reset because I believe the time has come for a deeper and richer reflective pushback against AI. 

The kind of revolution I foresee next year is not one that seeks to completely reject AI, but one that seeks meaning, clarity, and a clearer purpose for what AI should — and should not — do for humanity. 

In this 13th edition of Founder’s Branding, we examine why this revolution is likely to occur and, more importantly, how founders can take advantage of these pushbacks.
