How do you think affiliate marketing will change in 2026?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, especially with how fast AI and LLMs are moving.
It already feels like we’re entering a completely new era of affiliate marketing.

Brands are starting to use it to spot potential partners or create content but what is interesting for me is what it means to authenticity Affiliate marketing has always worked because it felt real like creator to audience, person to person.
I wonder if the next big challenge isn’t just about using AI, but staying human while doing it.

Anyway, we’re actually hosting a live webinar about it this week. And let me tell you that it's not one of those fluffy “AI is changing everything” talks, but a real breakdown of what’s working, what’s going wrong, and how people are actually using these tools right now.
