I believe AI (and automation) are just special cases of growing income inequality (between labor and capital), so it's a little unfair, perhaps, as many economists are worried about that. You can get surplus of labor (and so decreasing its value relative to capital) in two ways - by having too much automation, or by having too much people. The first is the current scenario (of automation), the second is the classic Malthusian one, which I am sure happened many times in history.
