There’s 2 ways this could go:
1) create enough of a safety net or give people enough cash that they can start businesses taking advantage of the increased productivity of ai
2) austerity: let them get fired from jobs in failing industries with no safety net, they will not have the opportunity to create businesses, and they will work in crappy tedious jobs a robot or ai could easily do, but because companies can afford cheap humans and they don’t have capital for robots, they will hire people desperate to do anything to keep their family from homelessness.
