This isn’t how current AI models work and it looks like they never will (at least not without a completely different paradigm), but to answer the hypothetical;
-automate all agriculture, resource extraction, logistics and production,
-abolish almost all financial systems,
-provide nutrition, shelter, education, healthcare, etc. to all humans,
-allow humans to spend their time as they see fit.
I don’t see any path to get us to this, but if we somehow managed it I would imagine most people would take up sports, art, science, or hobbies, and would choose to spend more time with family and friends.
Geopolitically, I suppose the countries with the highest ratio of natural resources to population would end up dominating, unless some kind of international framework was enforced which ensured resources were distributed fairly.
