The Coexistence of Humans and AI

Some experts believe that rather than complete elimination, the future lies in humans working alongside AI systems. Dean Meadowcroft, now employed by an employee assistance provider, acknowledges this shift in his work. He emphasizes that AI's potential lies in providing quick access to human-led content, reinforcing the notion that collaboration between humans and AI can enhance efficiency and productivity while preserving the human aspect of work.

AI and humans will coexist, of course.

The issue I see is the imbalance it would create. The maintenance, R&D, etc. of AI and related systems require human input, so presumably not all jobs would be displaced and you would have the creation of new jobs. But low skilled/low wage jobs will be the first to go. And what would happen if there total number of able bodied workers is greater than the total jobs available due to AI occupying low skill occupations?
