How do you think AI will make its biggest mark in business/on humanity/the world in the next 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?
5 years - Data Owners and AI patent holders (in the absence of regulation) will determine the future of work.
10 years -  At least 80% of the population will have digital skills as a result of living/working in the age of AI.
20 years - Primary and Secondary classes will exist if we don't address inequities now.

With out a human in the loop (HITL), AI will determine the need for ethics due to our reliance on algorithmic decision-making.

 We will see less of it.
