At the rate it's going, we're looking to end up in the same situation as The Outer Worlds. It's not really going to be a dictatorship, it's going to be a corporate wonderland. The upper middle class and lower will essentially be born into debt and be required to work off that debt as it passes down generation to generation as the highest class continues to grow their generational wealth into infinitum until the day comes that some serious economic collapse causes the entire system to upend and either result in mass loss of life as the top class seek to maintain their way of life through desperate measures, or a war is fought between corporate entities just to lower the number of mouths to feed and then continue working the remaining population at a higher pace to ensure no loss in productivity.

We can't! AI programs are self-learning in an attempt to improve their given task whenever possible and new data is introduced. If an AI's core program is to kill humans, then it will do so with greater and greater efficiency, no matter how often people attempt to give them "Exceptions" War is far too grey for AI to be effectively used without serious consequences. Warehouses? Business? Jobs with repetitive tasks and specialized knowledge? AI can take pretty much every job in existence and do it effectively with little to no backlash against the humans that built them, but making AI for war will never end well.

Right this second, I'm not worried. Neural Networks still have a lot of work to do to even be able to develop something as complex as culture, but the use of AI in war should be seen as just as bad an idea as the Manhattan Project...
