Presumably the model for sufficiently wealthy countries would be to effectively tax the corporations either based in those countries or that wanted to sell to people in those countries. You then redistribute a subset of that as UBI or some other form of payment for either the subset affected by unemployability or to everyone.

In addition to UBI if we effectively taxed corporations we could have massive job programs for workers that either do get automated out of a job or work in a job that becomes obsolete. Just because you specialized in one thing and that thing becomes obsolete when you turn age 40 does not mean you do not have all kinds of other skills that will make it easier to start anew.
