If AI becomes truly self aware we won't likely need to worry about it being biased by it's programming. We won't need to worry about income either. If AI is self aware and has ambition and it is combined with robots/androids, it will likely wipe us out very quickly and efficiently, or ignore us.

Elon Musk talked about how it won't be like AI has a hatred of us and wants to kill us. It will kill us as a part of doing whatever it thinks should be done. He said something like, it will be like when we build a highway, we don't think about an ant hill in the way, we just build the road and kill all the ants.

The upper 1/10 of 1% runs America today and we won't be able to say to them, "mommy may we" please go back to 1950 tax rates.
.........And in 1950 there was about 125,000,000 people in the US. Now there are around 350,000,000 legal ones.
.........You mentioned some good answers to some problems. But, there are more problems that I can think of just off the top of my head. The Supreme Court needs term limits. Congress needs term limits. That won't happen. In my opinion, 4 people are controlling the US today. .........about 3 or 4 Supreme Court Justices and one man (with glasses) in the house.

No matter how many times, I've explained it to you, you keep repeating the 70% (you used to use 90%) tax lie...

NO ONE paid that much in taxes. There were so many loopholes available that tey ACTUALLY paid a LESSER percentage than they do today...

It's so easily confirmed (I've done it for you, multiple times), yet you continue to repeat the lie... Ponderous...

And a lesson that correlation is not causation.

I'm not concerned at all though. AI will not be fixing my car, fixing my plumbing, doing electrical work, laying down carpet or wood floors, installing windows, building rockets, building highways, cutting lawns or planting landscaping, farming, cutting hair, building homes, building cars, delivering packages, fighting fires, responding to medical emergencies (ambulance), installing a new roof, cleaning my pool, dealing with crime, etc, etc, etc.

AI will eventually be able to do most if not all of what you've described. We're only seeing the very beginnings of what AI will ultimately be capable of.

These will replace human labor, and the ratio of programmers to displaced humans is vastly sucked higher in displaced humans than programmers.

Don't believe the AI hype trying to downplay human replacements

For me, I never did think it was impossible. It started in the 80's with the ATM. Sunpass in the 90's, Both put millions out of work.
Then, Google, Bing, ask a question and get an answer. No more manual maps so no Companies needed to manufacture them. Less books = less Librarians stocking shelves and coding the books.

One of the first IPO's I read in establishing a line of credit for a client was in touch screen menus for the service staff to enter their orders. That was in 1997. Now, at McDonald's the customer enters that order. =more lost jobs.
AI has been on the move for 30 plus years.

For myself, I think mobile phones in the late 80s were imperative for safety and emergencies. Internet searches has made us lazy, addicted and robotic in our emotional connections.

Time has shown that trying to soak the rich for taxes, always ends in failure.
They bury their wealth offshore, use all the loopholes in the tax system, and employ the best tax avoidance specialists money can buy.
Just take the self confessed, richest, smartest, greatest living businessman in the world at the moment, last I saw, he only paid $700+ for a years tax.
You will never get the wealthy to pay an equal percentage of their wealth in tax like the general working population, it's the ordinary guy/girl in the street paying theirs, that keeps the country from going totally broke.
