Unfortunately the trajectory we're on in the US the answer will be something along the lines of "criminalizing homelessness" and then sending them off to for profit prisons that take public funding.
The usual: public subsided private "industry" for the wealthy, and "rugged individualism" for the people.
What we should do is recognize the impact AI has on society and tax accordingly as to allow a minimal quality of life for all people and if you want more than that then you try to find work that pays better if it's even available. In the somewhat distant future AI combined with robotics will be able to do everything a person can do, but faster and 24/7. If no one gets a paycheck then no one can buy products so the corporations will either recognize that and willingly pay the previously mentioned tax or collapse.
