Might not be such a problem if the economic model also gets sensible so that humans whose skills are no longer needed simply get to enjoy the profits from the work that machines do.
This could mean shareholding in the most valuable corporations to be somehow distributed among a wider population (starting with those freshly made redundant by technology, say drivers replaced by autonomous vehicles)...

How's wealth redistribution going so far? Most humans are not naturally willing to share. Be that a seat on a train or a spare billion thats doing no good for anyone stuck off shore.

We are seeing more people talking about universal income but I really don't see that we have politicians with enough balls to accept it. In fact we still have a bunch of boomers thinking we need to get everyone into work.

Next five years or more is going to be about more and more process automation.

In my experience most IT people are ****wit luddites without the imagination to realise that IT is all about making humans redundant.

It's a possibility.
