What will happen to your country when AI automation of white collar jobs takes over?

Nothing. We don't have white collar jobs here.

Unions and government will stop it from happening. Then we either stagnate and fall behind, or become the destination to which people try to escape to from their oligarchies with 40% employment rates

Unions here are already getting contracts that if their jobs are automated away, they have to be paid a certain amount of their salaries continually until they get a similar job elsewhere, or if the whole position is automated industry wide, then in perpetuity. I'd imagine eventually the government will implement a UBI funded via taxes on robotics and AI companies. Honestly, I'm debating if grabbing a union job in a soon to be automated industry is the best move. If I do that twice I'll be guaranteed a solid middle-class salary without working, and then eventually a UBI on top of that.

Currently with white collar jobs the replacement seems to be bottom down, where AI makes senior employees more productive, meaning there is no need to take on new juniors so new graduates are left jobless. Those union contracts mean jack shit in this scenario

I suppose you are right that unless you can enter into a union job, those contracts don't help. That is why eventually a UBI will be required. But likely will only come after the unemployed burn and destroy and kill, sadly.

Nothing because I am a NEET. That said AI saving companies money will just cause it to be reinvested and create new jobs elsewhere.

More and more cunts are moving towards basically becoming feudal albeit. Any created extra wealth will just hoarded by a few billionares who use it to gobble up even more of their preferred market.

we've already solved this problem by moving everyone to bullshit government jobs that pay more than the private sector and have better benefits
>b-but they don't actually do anything!
yeah so?

It's still possible with antitrust laws. Reinvestment and growth is necessary for competing businesses to compete with each other. Just as long as they don't form a cartel. This AI unemployment talk should have focused on that rather trying to ban AI.

We will RETVRN TO THE MINES

It's funny how there's that short story (Manna, I think?) about this exact scenario and Australia is supposed to be the place that intelligently and humanely integrates AI. I mean it's funny how in real life we will definitely not do that.

overproduction of elites is nothing new and this has long been partially mitigated by expanding the public sector. With time it will become more of an adult daycare than it already is

Why are you two even complaining? Your countries have some of the lowest wealth inequality and highest social spending on Earth. You'll be fine.
