In the hypothetical where humans can no longer be employed because of AI, it is necessarily the case that AI must be able do any job at least as well as the best human for that job. That includes building factories, doing research.
The means of production are AI+robots, which self-maintain and self-replace as necessary to ensure everything else continues smoothly.
