I started to notice a intense automation and Artificial Intelligence Investments from companies and that made me wonder, what would happen or what should be done with the people who can’t be trained for a new job and can’t use his current skills to to get a job.

How would he live or what would he do in life? More importantly, what should be done with him to make him useful or at least neutral rather than being a negative on the society?

    Ideally or practically? Those are very different conversations.

    Practically, there’s not a lot that can be done. In the US, there’s not a good way for someone like that to continue living.

    I also will note that the phrasing of your last two sentences is kind of unpleasant. I’m not sure if that’s your intent, but it creates this implication that your value as a worker is the major contributed to your value to society. I don’t think that’s the case- I think it’s possible for someone to not work and contribute a lot to the happiness and well-being of a local community. Also, part of the thing that makes humans special is that even if someone doesn’t contribute to the overall needs of society, we will still take care of them out of love. That we love other people is a sufficient foundation for their existence.
