   > we won’t have enough people for all the jobs that need to be done

   Who defines jobs that need to be done? Businesses and institudes do.

   There is no magical entity that observes the need for jobs and creates them at ideal rate.

      I would say aggregate human desires determines what jobs need to be done businesses come about to fulfill the gap.

         Yes, I think it would be viable if it wasn't corporations reaping all the benefits (income) from AI right now.

      Consider a world with one person in it. That person defines the jobs to be done. As soon as that person is disabled for one reason or another and is dying due to lack of care, there are by definition more jobs to be done than people to do them. "Businesses" and "institutes" are just constructs that exist to summarize those needs at scale.
