Artificial intelligence(AI), one of most potent tool of digital era and robotics are going to change the  world soon as never thought and seen before. Economy, politics, society, education, security, geopolitics, healthcare and many other aspects of life  are going to have big change due to the power of AI and Robotics. Unfortunately India is for behind the US and China who are two big players in the field of AI. The US is still at the top in AI and China is next. China dreams of catching up with the US by 2025 in this field and to overtake by 2030. However, growing power of China in AI is worrisome for many due to due to suspicion and irresponsible role. However, some of the major changes that will take place are expected to be on following lines: 

1. AI will help China further in strengthening authoritarianism. However, major power behind AI is access to data. China has access to global data, but has smartly secured its own data by blocking google, facebook etc in China and having its own platform and network such as Baidu. India also need to learn from China and follow the same suite as soon as possible to protect its data.

2. Emerging scenario of digital divide coupled with divided political ideologies are heralding a new era of more intense cold war. Quad of the US, Australia, Japan and India; and EU may join hands together against china and its allies due to suspicion and mistrust. And rest of the countries will join one or the other group for their survival.

3. The globalization will be reduced to fragmented groups of countries. Role and influence of multilateral organization like United Nations will be reduced. It may be required to undergo a massive restructuring or reforms.

4. Digital technology is going to have a big impact on functioning of state, be it democratic or authoritarian. While democratic states will be facing information war internally leading to confusion, conflict, chaos and unpredictable political outcomes, however, the authoritarian states will strengthen its grip on governance of people.

5.On economic front, there will be more acquisitions, mergers and takeover of small companies with the digitally powerful big ones. In near future, I foresee many complex programming or coding jobs will be taken over by AI system itself. Now AI systems have started writing beautiful thought provoking articles. Unemployment is going to be a big issue in both manufacturing and service sectors. Jobs of taxi drivers will be taken over by autonomous vehicles, and delivery boy's jobs will be taken over by drones. Manufacturing sector's jobs will be taken over by robots and office jobs will be taken over by Alexa and other AI system. Future is highly dynamic and to some extent unpredictable too.

6. AI assisted systems will play major role in warfare. Network and data security will be of prime concern in the overall security architecture adversely affecting globalization.

7. There will be qualitative improvement in education and healthcare sectors leveraging the power of AI.

8. In fact, every aspect of life is going to be impacted in varying degree.

However, the countries who will lag behind in catching up with the development and use of AI will have big disadvantage in today's globalized world and it will difficult to catch up with those who are currently leading in AI.
