Why do you think "we" (as a world) will all acknowledge anything together?
If anything, the current trajectory of automation is leading to an intensification of the difference between have's vs have-not's. Many powerful people in the "have's" group WANT this, they want another gilded age where you have fantastically wealthy people and serfs.
UBI isn't a given and making it a reality is going to get ugly even if it succeeds.
