When everything necessary for life is produced by automatic labor, you really have no other choice but to institute a welfare state and limit the population (until you can expand to other planets).

I forsee people having their biometrics registered (better than chip implants) to get welfare/housing/etc and being placed on mandatory birth control until being allowed to reproduce.

In theory, you can give all people a free standard of living like the richest 1% today. However, the super rich will definitely get greedy and corral the common people into the most minimal ghettos while they build endless estates.

IMO, artificial intelligence will be the death of freedom for most of the population. It should be banned globally but there is no chance to stop other nations from developing it and threatening those who don’t. Much like nuclear weapons...

You do realize there is AI all around you even as you post?
