I wouldn’t consider it a major problem, especially with the coming robotic revolution. Even if the population declines by half, that would still leave 700 million people so twice the population of the U.S. According to predictions, the first signs of demographic challenges are expected to appear in about 15–20 years from now. That’s a long time, and a lot can change in two decades. Just compare the world in 2004 to today.

It's a major mistake to underestimate your competition.

That's a long ways out. We're barely past the first innings of the chatbot revolution and it's already struggling to keep going. Robotics are way more complex because physics can be cruel.
