I think we're going to end up with the sanctity of the individual, though I'm not quite as Huxley as you'd presume. I think the tech revolution has created the whole Brave New World environment but that AI will push things closer to Orwell. I think human beings and what they stand for will have to put together an identifying morality to separate ourselves from the not-humans. Perhaps this will be the Terminator Skynet style apocalyptic ending, but I suspect not - I think it will be how we grapple with the end of capitalism and the use of human beings as fodder for systems to generate wealth - be that slavery, wage slavery, or just corporate jobs. In an idealised world, we won't need them but we'd still want them. :o)
