AI HIVE

We are entering the most profound labor transformation in history. This interactive dashboard projects year-by-year estimates from 2026 to 2040 across four converging frontiers: humanoid robots, autonomous robotaxis, space-based infrastructure, and AI-driven white-collar automation. Grounded in current data and adjusted for historical delivery patterns, these speculative projections compare the US, China, and the rest of the world.

GDP tab tracks cumulative economic value generated by each domain — reaching $104 trillion by 2040. Cost per Unit Labor charts the critical crossover points where automation becomes cheaper than human wages, the trigger behind every S-curve inflection in the data. Military Adaptation maps the parallel arms race in autonomous drones, robotic ground systems, and AI-guided platforms, where China is projected to lead with 1.5 million deployed units by 2040.
