I think there will be some major advancement in energy production. Fusion energy is "perpetually 20 years away," as the joke goes, but 75 years is a lot of 20 years so I'd wager it will be implemented. With that comes the freedom to utilize a lot more energy which will more than likely be needed if everything goes "AI driven XYZ"
The hurtle we really need to get over at that point is greed. When energy and artificial intelligence reduce the barriers to production, less people are needed to work, but with our current mindset around ownership and proper compensation we'd live in a society that would allow millions to be homeless and destitute.
Unfortunately I see a future of two worlds, wonderous advancement in technological capabilities and extreme poverty growing ever larger. :/
