Mathematics and computer science are slowly taking over every other field. I would hazard a guess that it's just a matter of time before psychology meets the same fate. The goal would be to develop predictive models that can solve personal problems — depression, addiction, anxiety, etc. Eventually, machine learning will be able to do this better than people (exactly how much time until this occurs is hotly contested though).
