Why would production have to be centralized? You haven't supported this assumption. What we are seeing now is that there is no moat when it comes to AI technologies. Open-source models only lag about a year behind proprietary ones - at most, and there are many competitors even in the proprietary sphere. I expect that to persist into the future. Combine that with advancements in additive manufacturing and robotics, and the ability to have a class (or governmental) monopoly on productive capital reduces. So those are two productive inputs (capital, and data) that are widely available with few barriers, if we are willing to ditch the idea of intellectual property. Firm production likely will be outmoded under these conditions in way of commons based peer production.

That would mean for individuals, most things needed to live probably won't have any prices or would have trivial prices. Beyond that, you probably would still have some sort of market-exchange for specialized goods and you don't need firms or wage-labor to have money. Money is older than firms and wage-labor. 

Why would I work for anything, like food production ... for what exactly? So who is going to do those jobs? Robots as well? 

An AI could also very easily come to the realization that 9 billion humans is an awful lot. You don't need that many people, you could end most of them and just keep a few around in a kind of human zoo and still know everything you need to know about humans. Because if it develops the intelligence to drive vehicles, and create artwork, and perform surgery, develop medicines and cures for diseases, etc. etc. etc. ... it's not going to just turn itself off and stop there. 

You wouldn't work. The automated farms that your community co-locates would produce food, and collectively you'll have access to the food it produces. Any productive activity you engage in would be voluntary in the same way a person working on a Linux distro or Wikipedia article volunteers their labor with no expectation to be paid. 

I think the concept of singleton A.I is farfetched fantasy nonsense. None of the models we  currently implement look anything like it. The technology that develops medicines and cures diseases isn't the same technology that drives vehicles, isn't the same technology that generates images. And even within these domains there isn't a single "AI" or technology.
