What impact will automation have on our future society? Here are four possible scenarios

Looking back at the history of artificial intelligence, it is plausible that we will witness similar setbacks in research interest or a temporary plateau in technological advancement, which might be caused by bottlenecks in computing power, quality of training data, or an inability to understand the outputs. In certain domains we might be able to develop systems to fully automate a cluster of tasks from end-to-end, like driving or financial modelling, but others might remain obscure for artificially intelligent systems.
