The paper doesn't cover speculative AGI stuff at all (or driving for that matter) but focuses on the applications of existing technologies (image recognition, ML classification, robotics) approaches to different fields.

The general conclusion is that some technologies will replace labour and some will augment it and increase human employee usefulness, but that public policy should be directed towards enhancing the prospect for the labour augmentation over the labour replacement devices.

(It's not that long and quite readable for an economics paper, although it doesn't aim to provide any evidence for its assertions either.)
