I have hope that general AI will be a democratizing force again. Having something that can be taught by a human and trained with messy real world data, rather than vast data sets and specialized computer scientists, will make a huge difference. I'd like it to general intelligence augmentation[1] so we aren't creating more agents with their own goals. I'm not sure what the future looks like then. With my futurist monocle on you could imagine most SaaS being disrupted. You still want to send messages, but those can be encrypted and the IA manages the encryption for you, so you don't have to. Searching still seems pretty likely to be centralised although different communities might run their own if IA makes that sort of thing easy.
