>Imagine if AI does destroy millions of jobs and these workers cannot adapt instantly. What do you think will happen?

Those who lost their jobs can be provided with a Universal Basic Income funded by the businesses that made them redundant. That way businesses save on costs while people don't lose a cent. I concede it's very idealistic but it's definitely possible, dare I say even likely should democracy not collapse.

I think it would be more productive to plan ahead in a similar vein to the paragraph above instead of attempting to barricade the march of progress.
