In the 1960s, experts thought that we would have flying cars by 1980, and they thought computers would be small enough to only occupy a single room by the year 2000, based on their trajectories. Instead we have had near zero innovation with cars since the 60s, but computers have become about a million times faster and smaller than predicted. I think 20 years is way too far away to give any meaningful predictions. > > AI innovation may virtually stop tomorrow with only minor improvements over the next 20 years, or perhaps we... ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Unveils Schedule for KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Europe 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-unveils-schedule-for-kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe-2026-ikhcoa5cb) · CNCF · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Debuts KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 Schedule](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-debuts-kubecon-cloudnativecon-japan-2026-schedule-xp5pyudub) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai](https://daily.dev/tags/ai), [#ai-regulation](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-regulation), [#anthropic](https://daily.dev/tags/anthropic), [#automation](https://daily.dev/tags/automation), [#bard](https://daily.dev/tags/bard), [#chatgpt](https://daily.dev/tags/chatgpt), [#conversational-ai](https://daily.dev/tags/conversational-ai), [#future](https://daily.dev/tags/future), [#genai](https://daily.dev/tags/genai), [#llm](https://daily.dev/tags/llm), [#machine-learning](https://daily.dev/tags/machine-learning), [#nlp](https://daily.dev/tags/nlp), [#openai](https://daily.dev/tags/openai) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/survey-says-there-s-a-50-chance-ai-beats-humans-at-all-tasks-in-20-years-ovwfj056g)
