Design babies. I think we're no more than 20 years away from that becoming a rather mainstream thing to do. It will start off with people wanting to eliminate genetic diseases and other potential health problems from their babies before they are born. But I'm sure the the Paris Hiltons of the world will want their babies to "look perfect" too and have other enhancements. And eventually that will probably become more mainstream, too.
Before then I think we'll also all but have solved cancer through immunotherapy and gene editing, but it will probably still be out of reach for most people who won't be able to afford the drugs (especially in countries without a single-payer or nationalized healthcare system).
Solar and wind power will produce at least 70% of the world's electricity needs in 20 years. Probably close to 95% of the new cars sold in the market will be EVs by then. There may still be 20-30% ICE cars on the road by then, depending how aggressive governments decide to be about it.
I think we'll have solved both fusion power (but not yet deployed at scale) and have quite powerful quantum computers in 20 years. I don't know where "AI" will be in 20 years, but our current notions of AI will probably be rather quaint.
