Here are my wild guesses

Automation is not spreading the wealth, I think you will see even less of a middle class and more extreme divisions of wealth between the classes.

The corporation seems to be the new power structure like the church use to be. You will see more concentration of power and less accountability with this new power structure.

In the US you will see a transformation of the demographic shift accelerate. You may also see a change in politics with a move more towards policies you see in Europe. However they will still not work due to the change in the power structures.

National debts will accelerate to make up for short falls in pension funding and retirement plans like social security. How this ultimately plays out, I have no idea.
