I think robots more than A.I. will be a hot topic just for the fact that they don't need full A.I. to affect human race in a way we haven't seen in over 200 years.
That made me thing that this along with dropping marriage rates could be the start of dare I say state nursing homes(with paring done via a program) just to keep a stable population.

But already today, with very limited AI's, we have people in love with "virtual girlfriends", and we have people treating their iPhone's Siri (and similar tools) as a human assistant - for good and bad. Is there anything wrong with that? Some think so, some don't. The ancient, "go outside and play with real kids instead of watching TV all day" now takes the form of "go outside and play with real friends rather than online ones" and will turn into "go online and play with real kids rather than virtual ones", but the next generation will not listen. What will that do to human society? Remains to be seen.
