Resolves YES if Collins Dictionary's official Word of the Year 2026 is AI-related, and NO if it is not.

AI-related means the meaning of the winning word or phrase, as stated in Collins' announcement or in its Collins Dictionary definition, refers to artificial intelligence: AI models, chatbots, AI agents, AI-generated content, or people using or reacting to AI.
Examples that would have counted: 2023's "AI", 2025's "vibe coding".
A word that is only sometimes used about AI (for example "brat") does not count unless Collins' own definition or announcement ties it to AI.
Only the single overall Word of the Year counts, not the shortlist.
