This is not much different than the transition from agricultural to industrial age.
If 40% end up unemployed as a result of automation, then there should be a significant increase in new jobs in the automation industry.
The solution is retraining programs. Paying displaced workers UBI while they're retraining is a compassionate temporary solution, but not long-term.

You can't retrain a workforce for a job that doesn't exist. Robot maintenance maybe? Not when robots repair robots/themselves.. Sounds sci-fi now, but it's looming.
