I'm wondering if/when will signs of something like the Butlerian Jihad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butlerian_Jihad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butlerian_Jihad show.
In Frank Herbert's Dune books, the objection of humanity against "thinking machines" was not that the machines took jobs, but that intelligent machines shaped humanity too much. And signs of that can certainly be seen today. Business models and customer experiences are built around solutions that are easy to implement with computers. As AI gets used more, and AI will do the jobs of humans, human experiences will be shaped by AI. There will be a point where lawmakers will declare on certain things "no you can't do that with computers, you have to do it yourself".
My guess is that new laws will be made against specific uses of computers and AI. And that the issue of jobs will be regulated in those laws.
For example this recent law looks like something fitting in that category: http://ew.com/article/2016/12/16/obama-law-ticket-bots/ http://ew.com/article/2016/12/16/obama-law-ticket-bots/
