I predict that after 2086, there may be a dip for a length of time before units with artificial intelligence equivalent to that of a human's start exploding into trillions which will be possible due to assuming various form factors (virtual and material) that are different than the bipedal hominid body structure we took for granted for the past few million years. Artificial intelligence will be vastly more common than biological intelligence.
Great news!!! Get us back to 1 billion worldwide.Population ecologist William Rees, with the University of British Columbia's School of Community and Regional Planning, is reminding denizens of Earth that the planet can only support so many people. In his paper published in the journal World, he points out that many models have been developed over the years that show that only a certain number of animals (such as rats) can live in a given environment—they all show that at some point, a population correction occurs.
Back in 1947, ethologist John B. Calhoun, conducted some experiments involving rats in density experiments in outdoor pens—he gave each colony everything they needed to survive, except additional space—there were no predators. Without fail, the rats reproduced until they could not survive in the limited space they were given—population corrections occurred—in some cases, none of the rats survived.

Why it matters: Indian Americans have a long history in the U.S. but their population was relatively small until the 1960s when a change in immigration policy helped lead to a migration boom of Indian tech workers. Over the generations, other family members also moved to the U.S.
By the numbers: The number of Americans who consider their racial origin as solely Asian Indian grew more than 50% to nearly 4.4 million people from 2010 to 2020.
• When factoring in people who consider themselves either single race or multiracial, the most populous Asian identification among Americans is still Chinese (excepting Taiwanese): 5.2 million people.
• That's an increase of 37.2% since 2010.
The immigrant population in the U.S. is growing again.
The number of people born somewhere else climbed by nearly a million last year, reaching a record high of just over 46 million, according to new estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau.
The increase isn't huge for a country the size of the U.S. But it's significant, as growth had slowed sharply in recent years because of Trump administration policies and the pandemic.
"The foreign-born population zoomed up," said William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. "The gain in 2022 was as big as the previous four years put together."
