No major changes. The tools will evolve, but this will just be a superficial change. Project management has been the same since the first Egyptian pyramids were built. Stakeholders, risks and resources had to be managed then, and will have to be managed in the future. Communication will still be vital, and so on. Saving Changes...

...and come to think about it. If Agile 'takes over most projects', there will be continuous reporting that we may need help from AI :-) Saving Changes...
The nature of the job won't change much; they will still be managing projects. However there will be some non-human interaction that will take over some aspects, and whether "they" take over part, most or all of the role in the distant future remains to be seen. Saving Changes...

I really didn't see Andy's Post on "The Future of PM: A Hybrid Role?" the only fact that this is a recurrent post, makes you want to take the question more seriously.
Quoting "However, technology continues to break down barriers of entry for competitors, increasing competition and driving faster and more dramatic product enhancements in numerous industries. To continue to respond to these demands, organizations cannot simply continue to evolve their product development approach, they must make fundamental changes. That’s where I believe the hybrid role comes in" (Jordan, 2018) Saving Changes...
Machine learning might help to reduce uncertainty or increase confidence in a plan and augmented/virtual reality might help with the change management and simulation aspects of the profession but beyond that, I see evolution not revolution and I'm quite sure that 20 years from now, the most common PM issues of today will still persist...
