All industry still depends upon a massive amount of underpaid manual (often slave) labor that can not be automated easily. Automation would maybe cover 20% of what is done, the rest would have to be manual. Especially if the gains from cost reduction from importing raw material from third world labor are still of interest to western manufacturers.
The jobs involving manual labor are "safe", and so are the management / organizational jobs. So the mid-tier jobs would then migrate to whatever comes one step lower. In an optimistic scenario, it would lead to better efficiency in these lower paid jobs. But that's utopian.
Instead, what I see on the horizon is an increased interest in hardware optimization. Software is, for the first time, three steps ahead and hardware feels like it needs to catch up, like it's two steps behind. There are already orgs making this happen (tenstorrent) and specialist software in tandem would lead to very very quick prototyping. The generated hype for a "guaranteed upturn" would inject enough cash into these new industries to allow manufacturing of previously prohibitively expensive, specialist, one-off hardware for other manufacturers via non-standard manufacturing practices (like 3d printing). Most of this output would look "weirdly mathematical" and rather unnerving, similar to how the deeplearning image outputs used to a couple of years ago.
When we'll be close enough to this, the management will surely try to bite off more than necessary from the plebs. I fully expect robotic policing to be the norm by then, because policing gives the most training data and will likely be the first to be optimized for "your safety". So even if you don't have a Spot with a mg on its shoulder patrolling your neighborhood, you could be put in jail if you're caught removing the robot's battery on the 360 cam. Would likely lead to robot laws. Sorry if this is a bit alarmist but that is where I see it going.
I'm more worried about how half-baked "AI" will be used. Not very concerned with how a theoretically almost-sentient AI will behave. As bad as it sounds, if the utility of computing morphs from increasing human quality of life to something unto itself then retarding "progress" / freedom seems like the easiest, most rational call right now.
