There will have to be a Universal Basic Income as AI replaces most White Collar Jobs. Skilled Labor will be the best paying high prestige jobs.
A golden age of Craftsmanship will emerge as AI creates perfect products at a cheap cost. Creating a premium for handmade creative things.
The birth rate will decrease as the life expectancy increases.
Capitalism as we know it will be gone as the billionaire class were relieved of power.

@JonLosAngeles66 Interesting point.
Though quite what materials they will use is another matter. With petroleum almost certainly no longer available by either choice or by depletion, a huge range of irrecoverable synthetic materials we take for granted now, will no longer be available.
It doesn't need much "AI" to mass-produce goods. That is already highly automated. For example, car parts are made on sophisticated multi-axis CNC milling-machines and lathes, and much of the car assembly is by robots. The electronics in whatever you are reading this on will have been mass-produced by highly-automated machines..
The skilled crafts people will be needed to construct, install, set and maintain the production machinery, though, and the machines will still ultimately need human designers, builders and programmers.
Though possibly not in car factories. Privately-owned vehicles of any sort might be obsolete by then!
The pay system will obviously depend on a country's own economics at the time - if nations have not coalesced into huge blocs acting as de facto nations and setting the rules.

@ArishMell that's part of my rationale. Manufacturing will still need people. Though non-labor jobs are at the most risk of being replaced or deemed obsolete.

@JonLosAngeles66 I think they will still need a lot of "white collar" workers.
For one thing all those computers will need programming! For another, people will still want human contact in many areas.
And what will all those people do who no longer have any employment opportunities because computers have replaced them to such a huge extent?
The work will change though - some might no longer be needed however it is carried out, new fields of work might appear.

"For one thing all those computers will need programming! For another, people will still want human contact in many areas." - with AI almost no code writers needed it could write code better and faster by its lself. Phone customer service could be AI you wouldn't know it. Most human contact jobs would be sales.
"And what will all those people do who no longer have any employment opportunities because computers have replaced them to such a huge extent?" - that's why the Universal Basic Income is needed.
