# Technology Report 2026: AI, the Most Consequential Technology of Our Lifetimes

## English summary

7th Bain tech report (81 pp): $6T AI revenue by 2031; 'opex migrating from headcount to token spend'; chapters on AI-native absorption, half-finished software-org redesign, token spend (one tech firm set a $500/dev/month soft cap, average landed about $200: underuse is the bigger problem), missing architecture for agentic SDLC, $100B cross-system labor SaaS.
