Part 8/13:
In contrast, AI systems—especially in the form of cloud-connected robots or autonomous agents—already represent a kind of biological-level plasticity. They are modular, can be distributed, and are optimized for scalability. Over the next 20 years, these AI-driven robotics—humanoids, autonomous vehicles, or embedded assistants—will likely become ubiquitous and more seamlessly integrated into everyday life.
When Will AI Be Ubiquitous and Unavoidable?
The integration of AI into daily technology is accelerating. Today, AI is embedded in smartphones, virtual assistants, and search engines, but the next step is ubiquitous AI-powered entities embedded in physical robots, vehicles, and infrastructure. Examples include:
- Humanoid robots capable of manual labor or complex problem-solving.
