AI will change the job market but this is not going to be good for commoners like us! In order to reduce costs, companies will implement multiple automations wherever possible. This will lead to millions of job cuts in future. With economy already struggling, AI will add to it.

Elon Musk once said, he has seen what AI can do and it's scary. Let's hope that day doesn't come. AI will eventually bring disaster for the humankind.

My personal prediction is that this will drive towards a decrease of the population in the mid-long term.
Companies will be able to lay off a significant quantity of their labor, leaving in their positions only those responsible for the maintenance and design of the machines themselves, engineers and scientists.

In this panorama of less job opportunities and equal (or higher) prices for good and services, some people will opt not to have children, in order to safeguard their own economical situation.

That is the way I see it, at least.

Usually, higher the education, the less the birth rate. Also, there are a lot of things why people prefer to not have kids. For example, at past woman couldn't marry if she was a virgin, now a woman can't marry if she is a virgin, lol. At past women had housewife duties, now we have a fridge, a washing machine, dishwasher, a robot vacuum cleaner. Actually, men don't need to marry a woman because it's costly and comes with lots of problems. Women don't need to marry a man because they want to be on their own, have fun with other men, drink, party, etc. So, we got to the point where people in western countries don't want to marry and give a birth while in developing countries, because of less education, less possibilities, religion, cultural beliefs, etc, people give a birth.

And can you guess what will AI do? People won't give a birth not because of the competition with AI but because of better life. There was an experiment where mice were put in a cage where they had absolutely everything they needed, all the comfort and you know what happened? Their population just started declining and the final results were devastating.
If I am not mistaken, Denmark was talking about how robots will take our jobs and government should have to pay wage to everyone, i.e. about the future without no jobs where robots do all the job and people live on pension.
