Yeah one of the dangers of AI and robots taking jobs is that they don't have any customers left as in B2C business model. They will have to do a B2B model but then all of the people out of work will damage the economy. What about the people who got old and or sick? With all the people going poor without jobs some might resort to crimes to make a living. The draft can only take so much of the population. But our military uses drones a lot and might use robot soldiers that share memories and kill the enemy more than humans can and don't need any training. Is it murder if a robot kills a civilian?

You're absolutely right and things specifically like identity theft already work this way. The draft can only take so much of the population. But our military uses drones a lot and might use robot soldiers that share memories and kill the enemy more than humans can and don't need any training. Is it murder if a robot kills a civilian? Much like tragic losses of soldiers that occur during special ops missions are categorized as a soldier dying in a "training accident" one might assert that if a robot kills a civilian it would be chalked up to an "industrial accident."

  Industrial "accidents" already have a long history, especially in modern Asian manufacturing.

B2B will be few oligarchs trading among themselves. ...but then all of the people out of work will damage the economy. What economy? If you mean B2C, then yes. But, if you're talking about few oligarchs controlling everything and doing the exchange among themselves, then it will thrive. What could happen to other people is they will either become slaves or be eliminated.
