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 the existence of AI make working for a living inessential? It's not like the AIs will suddenly be feeding us while we sit on our asses all day. On the contrary, the existence of AI will make people want to work even more because people will be threatened AIs will take their jobs away from them. Same with education. Many students might be encouraged to study about artificial intelligence more if self-aware AI started existing.
