This may be something that prevents us from being wiped out by AI in the medium term. You can't maximize profits if you have no customers.
I suspect, however, that AI is going to impact us in ways most people haven't considered. Like, the IRS running an AI designed to close loopholes or otherwise minimize sidestepping leading to a war between corporate AIs trying to minimize corporate taxes, with individual taxpayers caught in the middle. Congresscritters will start using AI to do the bulk work of legislation; congress will meet for 3 days a year, and we'll see a bunch of bizarre and even more baroque legislation being passed. All the stuff people are worried about - job loss, murder warbots - will be footnotes under some far more impactful changes noone imagined.
That’s the one kind of thing Congress will be able to agree to outlaw.
