So you think the governments and rich will go for genocide? Why? With no vibrant economy, there isn’t much for the rich and government powerbroker to do. It’s self defeating. I’d think instead they will create new lands where they can amass more wealth and power.

In this scenario 'the economy' would be turned completely upside down by AI, eliminating the need for a mass working class. In this context I could see the rich and powerful going in for the idea that the population needs to be drastically culled.
