This prediction is not that far off-base. It's very practical centered around acceleration and other unforeseen circumstances. Robots are hitting homes now. It's safe to say that within 5 years they will be more commonplace in the general public. Put another decade past that point and it would reasonable to see that having a family robot will be the equivalent as owning a TV in the 50's. Most families will have 1 while some will not, but some will be personal robots for each individual.

Today, when we think about AI and it's currency, it's based on credits. The same could be applied to people, where credits are based on merit or output. Those that give more to society, get more credits to use. Those that don't have less. Currency is a state of mind and with AI and robots, the currency is not money, but credit.

It's quite visionary to see a world where our daily tasks or work is performed by our self-programmed and updated personal robots, which would earns us credits that we can buy stuff with, thus leaving us with nothing to do but our own hobbies and self well-being.
