Ideally yes, along with programs to teach people to take care of the machines that replace them. Currently my IT team is tasked with taking care of all these job replacers but without any addition to the IT team to make up for the extra work. Its unsustainable

I've seen it as well in my IT department, which is ironic since the whole argument for automation and jobs from capitalists is that "the economy will shift and there will be more jobs in repair and maintenance of robotics!" Etc.

Yeah, unless you're unwilling to actually expand those jobs at all, in which case we will just end up with a bunch of malfunctioning systems piled on top of technical debt.
