I think the technology is there, but maddeningly the system is going the opposite direction in terms of utilizing the technology for human good, or even basic human needs - the system path utilization and distribution is not sustainable. AI will make it worse.
In contrast, in the early 19th century, when the western system was disrupted by labor unrest, it was 60+ hr work weeks were common and 40 hour weeks with weekends off was unthinkable. There were literal bloody fights to shift the system - and I hope we have progressed enough to not require that this time around, but it seems within the realm of possibilities in our modern day.
