Providing sotware services to economies with booming populations is another way to boost our economy without increasing population.

You think you willl own the AI unit that goes to work and makes money for you? Thats not happening and neither is universal income.. Lets look at cars as example... Uber will not have thousands of drivers once self driving cars are reliable. It wont be a car owner that leases a car to Uber to go make him money.. It will be Uber owning all the self driving cars and taking all the money.
Samething will happen with trucking or any other industry that will be replaced with self driving vehicles. It will be large corporations that own the vehicles and all those jobs will be gone. The trucking companies or uber wont pay people out of the goodness of their hearts.. Trucking is the top job in the US right now so think when all those trucks are driverless where will those workers be employed?
This same thing will happen in every industry where AI can take jobs. AI will further seperate the haves and the have nots and we will see a much larger wealth gap than what we have now..
Basically, IMO everyone should be busting ass to get their self set because when the job losses hit its gonna hurt a lot of people. My guess is you have about 20-30 years. Better get your house paid for and get yourself a sustainable life style for the money you have.
No one gives a shit about starving Africans or Afghans living in mud huts just like they wont care about poor people with no jobs in the 1st world countries once we start seeing massive unemployment due to AI.
Honestly, there are already tens of thousands of poor people here in the US that no one cares about. Hell Republicans are always trying to take the welfare from those people as well as their housing assistance and food stamps.. Trump is already doing it..
They surely will not support some basic income for people like a lot of people seem to think is in our future.
My guess is most adults today past 30 will squeeze by but your kid's, kids are fucked.
