How AI Looks Like in 2030?

9 bold conjectures about what AI will be like in 5 years and how it will change our lives:

1. There will be one world model out there, the most fundamental one for other models, governed by a consortium of governments and major corporations.

2. No more web browsers, no more text terminals, all we need is the AI-driven operating system that is interactive, multi-modal and agentic.

3. Agent job markets will emerge, people will hire AI agents to do their jobs and fire them once finished. These agents can be orchestrated by the AIOS system.

4. A new language specific for AI models will be invented to better understand the world, which is more efficient and concrete than natural language, and there will be translators between them.

5. Long-term context memory system will be widely adopted and developed, it will be a plug-and-play module for AI systems to store our preferences and history, just like how we store our files today.

6. Family workstations with AI built-in will be a must-have for everyone, just like fridges and TVs today. They’re safer, faster and more privacy-preserving than cloud AI services.

7. AI for discovery is the new era, we will see new materials, drugs, or other scientific breakthroughs discovered by AI systems together with human scientists.

8. Jobs will be taken over by AI gradually, more and more people will work as independent contractors rather than working for companies directly.

9. A serious AI attack will occur at some time and people will start to realize how important AI safety is.
