Tech Impact Awards Recognize AI Innovation with Global Industry Jury

The Tech Impact Awards for AI 2026 has announced its fifth edition, focusing entirely on artificial intelligence. The global, fully remote, and free initiative recognizes people and companies building the AI stack.

The awards have three tracks: Builders, which is for founders, engineers, researchers, and makers building AI products and models; AI Natives, for professionals using AI to transform their function and deliver measurable results; and Business, for companies delivering AI products and services at scale.

A notable feature of this year's awards is the industry jury, which brings together AI, engineering, product, and innovation leaders from global technology companies. The current jury includes Jun Qian, Vice President of Generative AI Services at Oracle; Julia Diament, Principal AI Architect in the Office of the CTO at Microsoft; and Divya Mahajan, Software Engineer at Amazon.
