What will humanity look like by 2050?

By 2050, AI, robotics, biotech, automation, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing reshape daily life. My call, made in Rolling Stone Culture Council: humanity changes more by 2050 than in the previous 300 years. 300 years took us from the steam engine to the smartphone. The next 30 compress more change than that into 1 generation, because these exponential forces accelerate together. The convergence is the whole story. No single technology defines 2050. Their collision does. The money, the patents, and the people have already moved. The tape moves first, the world follows. Prepare for compounding change, not incremental updates.
