I don't think these changes will come from only non-violence. Labor struggles have always had some, even a lot of, violence. I think there will be violence. The ruling class most often looks to make concessions when the violence gets to a critical mass though, and then those concessions temper things. What probably will happen is that populations will shift left-wing economically once unemployment rates hit double digits, which is going to happen in the next recession/depression. 

Embodied intelligence (robots) are still far behind other fields of AI and it seems like that will be one of the last things AI will actually do, so the rich can't just use the robots to kill everyone. 

The big thing is that people who aren't unemployed will need to have solidarity with those who are, understanding that they are next. That will make the biggest difference. 

The rich are already using AI to kill people. Iranian civilians were recently blown up because an AI marked them as a military target. Already waiting for the same thing to happen to American citizens.

And yet the Iranians are more or less winning this war, strategically. I should've been clearer though. I don't think they'll be able to kill everyone, not that they can't kill some people.
