Governments and tech moguls have bet hundreds of billions on artificial intelligence. If the technology does what it promises, we will have to radically rethink how the global economy functions.
It’s like global malnutrition/hunger, it’s not that we don’t have enough food (I believe total global calorie per capita per day output might be significantly above the recommended 2,500 or so calories); it’s the distribution where the problem lies.
Which to OPs point is a socio-political problem. We have the technology and means to distribute it globally, or ensure it’s created closer to the need, it’s just not being done.

We absolutely have the resources to solve those distribution issues, there just isn’t an economic incentive to allocate them that way.
Yup, distribution as in social choices around allocation strategies as opposed logistics (which is mostly solved, some bottlenecks do exist though).

Except we still can’t solve this in the US, where that distribution is orders of magnitude easier
We can, the ruling class just chooses not to
