it's really got nothing to do with replacing workers, that's just bullshit to get the investors cumming in their pants thinking we're going to live in a magic AI utopia with UBI in 2 weeks.
the true goal of artificial intelligence systems is exactly that, intelligence, as in intelligence gathering. the algorithms that could already predict everything about you and what you're going to do are going to go into overdrive over the next few years.
state surveillance, military intelligence, financial sector, insurance, biotech, these are the true money makers for such systems. they will become so refined they can practically see the future. they are already training these systems on massive datasets collected by the NSA, insurance companies, banks, etc.
AI has already been used to identify and kill "terrorists" and the practice will only grow from here. in combination with autonomous weapons and surveillance systems it will essentially be skynet.
i personally believe the next step will be bio-mechanical AI systems, basically chimeras of silicon and brain matter grown from stem cells, which will make these neural networks much more compact and energy efficient. probably why musk is experimenting so much with brain chip tech.
