AI and similar technology but not for the reasons you may think. As we offload more and more of our human thought onto these machines and algorithms we become more dependent on them, in effect we let them think for us. If we don't control the technology, we let it control us, and by extension we let those who control the technology control us. On some level it feels like that laughably corny Star Trek episode "Spock's brain."
For example, every time someone answers a question with "let me google that for you" I die a little inside. Not only does google give different results for each person, what it displays isn't always going to be the same. You can't say for sure you're pointing them in the right direction. We used to have things called FAQ's, maintained by humans, that were used for this purpose.
