Assuming that in the future most jobs will be replaced by artificial intelligence or other advanced systems, is it (in your opinion) highly likely that the powerful figures of this world would want to commit genocide against a large part of the world's population, or would we be dealing with true philanthropists?

Look at how countries like USA treat their homeless— people displaced from housing and denied a gainful living. The worse scenario is already happening to them. Nevermind Gazans being killed to turn the whole strip into a resort for these presumed philanthropists
