I would say more like 15-20 years. It seems to me that much of the foundation for this has already been laid, and the advances here are accelerating. Structural unemployment is going to lead to some serious social disruption in the next 50 years, I think. Capitalism's days might be numbered. I'm not sure what will replace it, but when a majority of the workforce can't bring something to the table worth a living wage in compensation, the equation breaks. I would guess that first the efficiency will be funneled into a disparate allocation, but eventually, there will be revolt.
