The Fourth Industrial Age will be about AI understanding us, not the other way around

While we're not going to let the bots take over just yet, it's clear that bots are going to meet our needs, offer proactive advice, and serve us. The truth is, we won't try to understand technology. Technology will try to understand us. The digital revolution was about humans becoming accustomed to using computers all day, connecting with each other over social media, and even more arcane activities like learning how to use Photoshop. In the Fourth Industrial Age, technology will slide further behind the curtain into more of an assistive role, one that is not meant to be all about shiny new gadgets and operating system updates.
