I started to notice a intense automation and Artificial Intelligence Investments from companies and that made me wonder, what would happen or what should be done with the people who can't be trained for a new job and can't use his current skills to to get a job.

How would he live or what would he do in life? More importantly, what should be done with him to make him useful or at least neutral rather than being a negative on the society?

Why do you only use "him" to describe workers? Also, people are not just valuable for their labor. That is some corpo nonsense.

Based on that plus the various other mistakes, my guess is that OP's native language isn't English, but probably one of the many languages which uses masculine pronouns as gender-neutral, and they're just doing a literal translation from their native language.

That was my initial assumption as well, but I have also seen other posts from them that had fewer mistakes. I figured I just ask instead of assume malice
