Today's AI is extremely energy inefficient compared to the human brain. This approach is interesting, as should it work, it would be much closer to the brain's energy efficiency.
A new study led by researchers from UCL and Imperial College London has brought us one step closer to a form of brain-inspired computing that exploits the intrinsic physical properties of a material to dramatically reduce energy use. In the new study, published in the journal Nature Materials, an

As AI develops it will just get better and better at manipulating people. At some point I'm sure we'll have AI that is doing that to us in ways we don't even realize or see coming.
It's a shame they can't move it to a higher orbit & leave it there for future generations. People a century or two from now will be curious about the earliest days of humans in space.
It seems obvious now AI is as advanced as it is that voice interaction should feature more strongly. Scanning and reading are quicker for long-form content, but where the result I want is a short answer, it would be as quick for AI to tell me.
The other obvious idea is that it would be great if screens could exist via Augmented Reality. There are ways of doing this now, but they are still cumbersome. Maybe that is where the breakthrough is needed.
Zipline are hugely successful in Africa. The model there is to fly low & slow and drop the packages.
