Advancements in AI and the gradual digitization of society could one day lead to a world where earning a living is inessential to living a decent life.
Why would "earning a living" be not essential to living a decent life because of AI?
I am wondering what’s going to happen when due to so many tech advancement humans are no longer needed to work at all since robots are doing the jobs we are currently doing and doing it even way better. How will people survive without jobs since that’s what give us our livelihood.

This is the part where others say they believe when AIs took our jobs from us, it will give us time to do the other things we would like to do, but can't because we are bound to our jobs. You can travel if you want (but only if you've saved enough to pay for your travel expenses AND still survive after that even without a job) or try other things: a hobby, a new job, etc. But I say unless you're rich or have unlimited source of income that will enable you to live even without earning a paycheck every month, then you're probably doomed once AI took over your job.
