This is exactly the conversation that everyone is avoiding. No great answers out there for how this transition work, but history says it will be messy. What will be the trigger that actually forces action? Political instability? Consumer demand collapse? To force the "AI dividend" does the AI infrastructure become a public utility?
The cultural shift required make this transition is huge. The tech has changed over the centuries, but humans are still humans. It's technically possible to make this shift. A lot depends on whether public institutions and civic engagement seriously tackle these questions while there is still meaningful room to shape the answers.
