It's a tough economy and I do think that AI will definitely change things over time. A lot of people will lose their jobs as the companies replaces them with AI or software. At some point, I think we think we can do except adapt. I just wonder how things will move in regards to the government as less people get employed.
I think people see some aspect of their job that AI can't do, and think they are safe. But, they will consolidate jobs, so two becomes one, and ten becomes one eventually.
Government are already struggling with lack of tax. They have done it to themselves. What we need to do though, is get rid of a lot of the government :)
