Mary Meeker — the renowned technology analyst, often referred to as the “Queen of the Internet” — has released her latest report on artificial intelligence titled AI Trends. This report is filled with charts, forecasts, and insightful observations. However, one particular section is especially noteworthy: The ten tasks that AI is expected to undertake by 2030. If examined closely, this is more than just a prediction. It serves as a subtle enumeration of functions where AI will not merely assist humans — it will begin to replace them. This transition will not occur in a single, sweeping motion, but rather in small, precise increments. Below are the expectations of Meeker and her team at BOND regarding what lies ahead for humanity by the year 2030.
1. Providing answers to your inquiries more effectively than most humans In AI Trends, Meeker observes that AI will evolve into the primary interface for knowledge, delivering answers with clarity, speed, and contextual relevance. Rather than searching on Google and sifting through links, you will pose a question once and receive exactly what you require, more swiftly and fluently.
2. Composing everything from emails to reports The report illustrates how large language models (LLMs) are already generating emails, summaries, and content on a large scale. Meeker indicates that by 2030, AI will manage the majority of low-stakes writing tasks, with humans mainly responsible for reviewing, modifying, or approving the content.
3. Programming applications and creating websites on demand Meeker emphasizes how tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT are transforming natural language into executable code. By 2030, this capability will become commonplace. You will articulate a product concept, and AI will generate a live prototype.
4. Taking notes during meetings and drafting follow-up messages In the enterprise segment of AI Trends, Meeker refers to copilots that manage documentation. AI will supplant note-takers and administrative positions by promptly summarizing calls, producing recaps, and even drafting the subsequent email.
5. Reading and organizing your email inbox The report predicts the emergence of AI assistants that function as inbox gatekeepers. They will read, categorize, and respond to emails according to your preferences and previous behaviors, well before you have the chance to address them.
6. Simplifying complex concepts According to AI Trends, artificial intelligence will serve as your primary interpreter for a wide range of materials, including legal documents and medical results. Meeker refers to this as “contextual AI” — systems designed to convert complexity into straightforward language.
7. Automatically personalizing content and services The report illustrates how AI is already influencing recommendations across news, shopping, and entertainment sectors. By the year 2030, Meeker predicts this will extend to health, education, and finance — offering fully personalized experiences at all times.
8. Coaching and developing habits In areas such as fitness, education, or mental well-being, Meeker anticipates a rise in AI-driven coaching tools. These systems will provide regular prompts, structured routines, and constructive feedback — aspects that humans often find challenging to sustain.
9. Real-time navigation of your environment AI’s capability to comprehend context—such as location, urgency, and even emotional state—will enhance the functionality of smarter maps and decision-making systems. AI Trends describes this phenomenon as “ambient intelligence,” which is already being implemented in transportation and logistics.
10. Engaging in conversation, listening, and retaining information like a human Meeker envisions a future where AI interactions do not reset after each session. They will retain knowledge about you, your communication style, and your preferences, thereby building upon previous conversations in a manner akin to a friend or colleague.
