Robotic systems will help people with a lot of tasks. Some professions will feel threatened like artists, lawyers, counselors, programmers, and so on. If they don't prevent the use of AI this will be a benefit for the society as a whole. An example: if an AI reliably can give legal counsel for clear cases, people can ask what they can do if something happens. This gives power to the people. Lawyers will work for unclear cases to create precedents. This opens up the space to solidify law even for niche cases. This all dependents on whether society can care for the poor. If the poor are well off, too, then they can afford to be laid off and find something else. In extreme cases they don't need to find a new job but they need to find a new meaning of life. If this works out, everybody can enjoy the new offerings of AI. I just am afraid that key people prevent progress, like forbidding legal AI because only humans can be lawyering around, but what they want is more money. I also am afraid that some people can monopolize access to AI. This is the bigger danger in my opinion than AI alignment. If everything is open and transparant and people can build their own AI assistants, we will get a new wave of progress. This will be a giant step to utopia, I hope.
