The fears of true AI and Automation are overblown. robotics is sitll a long way off from replicating anything outside of repetitive manual tasks and travel.
AI is great for analysis and pattern recognition (terrifying for surveillance and freedom) but its not true "intelligence" its just further improvements on computational power that we already do.
I dont know if we will every get to a real AI, just very close imitations.
As for Fusion we are closer to that than AI. And Space elevators are impossible with current known materials.
