Longevity is neither necessary nor required for "running out of space".

If the mean person has more than 2 kids, the population grows until it can't, no matter how long or short our lives.

If we cure aging and all disease, our half-life due to accidents and homicide is (currently) somewhere around 1000 years — the same "2 kids" rule applies.

I really hope I die of something natural, quietly, in my sleep at a reasonable age instead of a freak accident or being murdered.

Space. If AI is smart enough for saving billions of lives, it will also give us more effective energy and space flight.

Why? Just because you find one solution doesn't mean you find another one too.
