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?

In the US, pensions have become extremely rare, and were mostly replaced with a 401k, which is essentially a tax deferred stock market account. Often your employer will match contributions that you put into it up to a certain point.

Alright. Sounds like bullshit that you're going to have to deal with, whether or not we're facing the AI apocalypse, and I sympathise.
