Comment on Amazon boss tells staff AI means their jobs are at risk in coming years

Between AI and Robotics, we will likely have a permanently unemployed segment of close to 50%, or even more, within the next decade.

Not everyone will be able to be retrained to be a robotics engineer or AI programmer, and many, many jobs that are considered entry-level will disappear. Imagine a world where most fast food and retail workers are unemployed.

When 40% of America is unemployed, the government will be faced with 2 options - Universal Basic Income, or reducing the population by 40%. Which solution will each party embrace, and how will they accomplish their objectives?
