MODERATORS
Once AI and robots can do/make anything they want on demand, they won't even need money, so don't need to make money by selling stuff. For sure, they will probably have a tough time transitioning from the idea of making money, but they won't need to any more. The rest of us could split off our own fairer economy, but they'll probably have the IP locked up on all the technology so we can't use it and have to keep working 5 day or more weeks.
