That sounds like pie in the sky (wishful thinking). Usually the benefit of automation goes only to owners; the poor get job losses and an increasing wealth gap.
If this is state-owned then it's not so bad, but still the brunt of job losses would seem to be for low-skilled workers.
Distributing the benefit of increased automation to me is a good argument for things like 4-day week and universal basic income (UBI).
