Signal's potential evolution

It could lead to...

	issue	type of issue/development	potential impact on society	timeframe for the issue to become at least 50% probable
#1	Robot swarm intelligence is widely introduced, e.g. in agriculture or manufacturing companies, and replaces a vast number of employees. Additionally robots develop an independent existence and develop unexpected behaviours as attacking human workers.	discontinuation	mainly harmful	now-2025
