I very sadly don't see it going anywhere because of how much money has been invested by big tech corporations such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft.
Reason they're willing to put so much money into these corporations is because they're being built on their cloud infrastructure, which the different AI companies pay for. So either way, they end up getting more money and becoming more influential, even if the AI hype eventually dies out.

Don't forget "THE CLOUD" and "IoT"
The cloud was the dumbest hype because it changed nothing. Network services were now named cloud services, that was it.

IOT seems kinda ok in that regard. Connect your microcontrollers to the internet to allow some extra coordination.
AI is here to stay but I can't wait to see it get past the point where every app has to have their own AI shoehorned in regardless of what the app is. Sick of it.
VR and AR will get a second run once the UX is improved and power to run it becomes small and cheap enough. Quantum computing is around the corner.
If anything survives it will be the deepening of the attitude that copying or imitating anything is "stealing".
