2020 - 2030

The rise of simple AI and robotics. Effects: job cuts.
Rapid growth of unemployment. People deprived of work are actively impoverished.
Reduction of the middle class. The level of education ceases to affect the economic situation of a person.
Finalizing the model in which capital creates capital. As a result, there is an increase in the concentration of capital in individual hands.
A critical increase in inequality and, as a result, migration processes in the world.
Biological threat: the emergence of new viruses concentrated in large cities.
The gradual concentration of power and narrowing the space of personal freedom.
Creating a system of complete information transparency: a person has almost no personal space left.
The growth of political extremism processes.
All forms of social phobias, from racial to social, increase their influence on the masses.
War becomes the only tool to distract the masses from internal problems.
Developed countries create simple AI for war (planes, tanks, submarines) without the participation of people, which leads to the removal of man from the security systems of civilization.

2030 - 2040

Creating a full-fledged human-level AI.
Total robotization of all spheres of life. A person becomes superfluous everywhere, without influencing the economy, technology, or power.
Total decline in the educational level of the population, its further impoverishment and degradation.
Increasing biological threat: a sharp decrease in the effectiveness of atibiotics due to the growth of bacterial resistance.
Corporations and States are creating a "Golem" - a new format of socialization that gradually takes control of all spheres of society. Society is finally atomized, social ties are blurred, the role of a person from a person who produces (services, goods, content) turns into a person who only consumes.
The era of "New feudalism" will give corporations and state institutions unprecedented opportunities to control the disenfranchised masses. A person will defend their right to a limit: water, food, housing.
The policy will be replaced by control.
The elites will gain biological immortality and enormous power, but closer to 2050 they will become obedient puppets in the hands of advanced AI systems.

2040 - 2050

Cities are finally becoming biological traps and sources of infection.
Total unemployment. A person is no longer in demand anywhere: neither at the decision-making level, nor at the level of content production.
Elites are secondary, they do not decide anything. Everything is replaced by AI of a human level and above.
The number of suicides is growing catastrophically. A person loses goals.
The level of education is extremely low due to lack of motivation, because the social lift no longer works. AI makes everything better than people.
"Golem" becomes home, family, friends - everything for a person. Each person from birth belongs to a specific structure of the "Golem", be it a corporation or another institution. The Golem provides its members with everything they need and has full control over them.
Creation of superintelligent AI (2050-2060). Humanity as the dominant species no longer exists. Everything that happens next no longer depends on the person.
