Cryptocurrency will benefit within platform stability and further stabilize the market, providing less of a pendulum swing from increase and decrease in its value, blockchain growth and enhancement of the internal performance functions. An escalation of digital ransoms and financial trojans frequency will create additional need for the skilled workers as companies will use increased diligence of their cyber operations.
Conflicts in Africa are forecasted to continue evolving with the mobilizations of the technological warfare methods amelioration. Moreover, China demonstrates appended strategic interest in the African continent from opening a base in Djibouti to aiding in building infrastructure in the region. Some strategic moves by China include providing support to UN missions, hence the job opportunities in AI will also be available in the region in the near future.

Last year the launch of Project Maven and its core mission to establish an Algorhytmic Warfare Cross-functional team, including new AI algorithms for the drones. It would be possible in the near future to have one programmer controlling the whole robot armies and conflicts taking on a new dimension, however Stephen Hawking, Canadian and Australian researchers are speaking out against the robotic armies due to possibility of dangerously loosing control by humans and parallel world, where the possibility of humans being unsafe from own analysis done by Robots.
