The upper class people will profit from the lost jobs. Just like they've always grabbed the lion's share of productivity improvements. The VP of Widgets is going to push an AI Initiative that will save money and increase revenue for the company, and as a result, they will get a nice bonus and a promotion of the Chief Widget Officer.
