If robots can design websites in 5 years, it won't be much longer til they can devise statistical ML schemes. Also, if you don't have a background in math, you'll just be finishing your studies of math/CS after 5 years, for reference. Projects like TPOT and DataRobot are already showing a huge amount of promise for automating the tedious/time consuming parts of ML. But this doesn't mean they'll get good at the hard part any time soon. I'd say your time/energy is better spent lobbying governments for socialist reform than learning ML at this point so we can avoid the worst case scenario(s).
