I believe the solution to said socio economic problem is rather simple.

People are being replaced by robots and AI because the latter are cheaper. That's the market force.

Cheaper means that more value us created. As a whole, people get more service for doing less work.

The problem is that the money or value saved trickles up to the rich.

The only solutions can be, regulations,

- do not tax anymore based on income from doing actual work.

- tax automated systems on their added value.

- use the tax generated capital to provide for a basic income for everybody.

In that way, the generated value goes to people who lost their jobs and to the working class as well.
