More acceptance of what we are currently society is fighting for. For the rights of everyone and everything!

Hopefully like Star Trek after the Bell Riots.

Thanks to AI a lot will change. People won't longer feel as alone, as they can talk to a live like bot whenever they need. We can talk to deceased relatives, that we recorded, as if they'd still be alive.

AI has found genetical, chemical and other biological combinations we can't imagine yet. Devices will monitor our heath, stress and environment and counter act automatically, making people happier, healthier and younger than they we could ever imagine. Most new diseases can be cured or immunized against incredible quickly before a large population is effected. At least in the western world this won't be unaffordable expensive anymore.

A lot of mathematical issues have been solved, creating advanced machines that create even more advanced machines. We'll have unlimited energy through nuclear fusion. Quantum computing is becoming mainstream as we managed to make them portable in a first.

Genetical crops have solved most food issues and while we probably still suck at distributing it properly. The environment is still dirty and some countries even still throw their trash into the ocean, the overall planet is much cleaner than ever, as we found ways to clean up the air and parts of the ocean.

The world moved closer together to combat AI produced fake news and created some world news like corporation, to combat it with real journalism and a lot of transparency. Creating an overall more healthy and less propaganda and clickbait driven information portal, people started to mostly trust in in desperation of not losing track of what's real and what's AI written.

And in a last part, AI generated videos and images of NSFW content have desensitized people so much that the whole gossip and media outrage about it has silenced. America is still trying to censor nipples though.

Climate change largely reversed, clean energy sources dominant, the power and wealth of corporations greatly reigned in, fair government and elections, universal basic income and universal healthcare the norm world-wide.

I think we're going to see a lot of strong reactions to progress. I mean we're already seeing some of that. Neo-Luddites (are Neo-Amish next?), TradWives, dumb phone culture, etc. I think it's going to pick up. Some good and some bad.

Okay, so what are the good ones? I think we'll become more family-oriented. I think we'll re-realize that meaning in life comes largely from our relationships, and our families will become a bigger part of that.

A spin-off of that is I think family dynamics will be generally better. Fewer people overall will have children, as those who aren't really into it won't feel pressured to do it (they can still have nieces and nephews and whatnot). But those who do have children will be more deliberate and passionate about it. I think parenting quality overall will improve, and parent-child relationships will be better.

I think our economic system is going to get a major upgrade. Every year that passes, it becomes more and more obvious that the rules we have in place aren't sustainable. The rich-poor divide is growing. Mental health is worsening. Climate change is worsening. Owning a home is now a luxury of the top 10%, and will probably be a luxury of the top 1% very soon. Eventually it's going to get so bad that nobody can deny it needs major changes. And it will change.

I know some tankies on Lemmy would love to jump in and say "so finally we'll smarten up and embrace socialism", but I don't think we're quite that stupid. But we're going to fix some of the rules and corruptions.

Not giving in to the endless pursuit of money.

Not a privacy barren wasteland that we seem to be heading towards currently. Governments seem to be taking it into the other direction with how much they are trying to limit digital safeguards. I wouldn't even be surprised if most places turn into China with regards to censorship levels. The US isn't too far away either, with legislatures trying to pass bills such as the Restrict Act.
