So it isn't an automation issue, it's a social policy issue, just like it wasn't an industrialization issue when the Luddites made their mark on history. And likewise, the problem isn't about what or how the AI is developed (except maybe we shouldn't give it the capability to kill us), but what we do socially with the results. We're already far more productive than we were 50 years ago, with little real improvement in our daily lives (yes, there have been some serious improvements with communication and technology). That's a failing of worldwide political policies, as well.
