It won't, without something new and disruptive. AI is, for the most part, combinations of algorithms conceived of decades ago, that aren't exceptionally complicated - it tends to be more of a, "the devil is in the details," situation, in any given niche. They've recently been able to put them to work on massive amounts of data, that would have been impossible even 10+ years ago (efficient GPGPUs, fast SSDs, and cheap fast networking). Like with those self-driving cars, they keep hitting walls, where more data doesn't really help.

If we get AGI or the like, it will be because of either a genius doing something new and different, or scientists correctly implementing a, "neuron soup," paired with fast microprocrssors (disruptive once it works smoothly, but related research is ongoing and iterative). The talk they use now is wishful thinking, until that happens - and they may be on the chopping block, instead of their, "lessers," depending on who does it.

With smartphones, they stopped really caring about actually chipping people, I think. Phones give you basic biometrics on 98%+ of millenials and younger.
