Different Cultures will adapt AI differently. In low-context societies (Edward T. Hall) mainly the developed Western industrial societies, adoption will be fast with rapid socio-economic implications, which by default will impact the rest of the world.
In high-context societies, adoption will be very slow. This is primarily due to the fact that human contact with one another is the culture, and it is very hard to change. Only an event at the scale of the COVID pandemic will force people to temporarily go along with changes.
The second reason is education and poverty. The majority of people in the developing world, majority are still illiterate or economically disadvantaged, that AI applications are irrelevant to them. Only an evolution that combines both quantum computing & AI, that would impact the entire existence of humanity regardless of whether they fall on the cultural scale.
