As a born optimist, and barring a major worldwide financial catastrophe or nuclear conflict, I believe that Artificial Intelligence will transform our lives very fast, far quicker than specialists predict as it can learn from itself and act on the same principles of accrued interests, but at much higher, I should say lighting speed.
There’s also a huge confluence forming between AI, receding birth rates in developed countries, a challenging labor market (workers availability, cost of labor), quality control, trust or lack-thereof. All these trends will be pushing society and boosting investments towards automatizing menial tasks as soon as technologically (not humanly anymore) possible.
Through careful observation of how to accomplish tasks, it will become possible to design tools (robots) that can accomplish all kinds of predictable or observable tasks much better, probably faster and certainly more consistently than if they were done by humans. At any rate, if it doesn't come from America, it's problably going to emerge in China and well ahead of schedule!
When you see what Google has done with Waymo, I’m convinced that with growing economic incentives and an unstoppable AI, it will take far less time than most “experts” still think, before robots become fully part of our daily lives!
