Let’s try a little bit of my vision:
The future belongs to humans, along with their “slave” machines, where, each human will be “partnered” with a robot, endowed with the best and most current “AI” of the times.
The slave will make each person independent and capable of functioning without government involvement or any kind of group thought or group interaction. The robot will take care of the human owner’s needs, and that could include food (through independent gardening), clothing, housing (building shelter shouldn’t be that difficult in the future wink ), entertainment (playing videos, music, movies), education (internally contained information, with lectures and everything that a teacher/professor might do), medical needs (blood tests, blood pressure tests, recommending medicines, etc), and much more.
Now, the robot could be free-standing and accompanying the owner everywhere for everything that the owner does. The robot would be equipped to recognize dangers in the environment and to take appropriate action to “defend” or warn the owner.
The robot could also be in the form of “attachments” on the body of the owner, worn (like clothing, glasses), embedded/inserted (like heart pumps), and much more. That robot would provide for locomotion (something like a Segway) so that the human can go longer distances than humans can currently on foot.
In essence, all of the needs that a human has, would be provided by the “slave”, with no questions asked, no complaints, and no getting tired, and working as independently as possible with very little outside intervention or interaction.
We need artificial stupidity!
Cheers!
Asimov explored this in his "Foundation" and "Robot" novels. Some of the implications aren't pretty.
