Good scenario: AI allows humans to focus on enjoyment of life and leisure activities while AI handles the information and physical requirements of life.
Bad scenario: Someone or some group commandeers AI to enslave, abuse, harass, eliminate(?) vast swathes of humanity to preserve the resources for themselves. What if a middle-eastern country no longer needs imported workers and deports them. What do we do if 5, 10, 15, 20 percent of knowledge-based workers - globally - are no longer required (or we only need 1-2 percent to do the job that's done by 20% today...)
Given humanities past, the bad scenario seems more likely.

That’s a pretty good breakdown. I’m hoping the elites implement a UBI to prevent societal collapse. It would be a lot easier than managing a self sufficient bunker and defending against endless waves of kill bots.
