For that to happen we would need a paradigm shift on the main ideology behind most functioning governments: neoliberalism. It's not in the current sociopolitical/economical zeitgeist for governments to step in and create jobs, since the 80s we've moved towards privatisation, even very socially oriented governments like Western/Northern Europe are in it. To undo this flow into the other direction will take another generation or two of people under a new ideology voting for it. We've been fed neoliberal policies for way too long, the contemporary Western world has been molded in it, I don't believe such a huge shift will happen fast enough if AI does actually develop that fast to replace jobs. We will live through a limbo of pain until newer generations fight against it, usually that only happens when our collective pain is way above the uncomfortable threshold. > Even now at least half of economic activity is government created in many developed countries I wasn't aware of this fact, where could I find statistics about it (if you have sources easily, if not I can do my own research).
