You’d be smart enough to be sneaky about it. Play the old “inflame their passions” then “supply a satisfying rationale for said passions” propaganda kung fu.
You’d also be smart enough to work around it. You’d be able to strategically convince the right people to implement it, and convince enough people to support it for it to go through, then the remaining detractors are either propagandized into liking it (like how business and governments do things now, but much better), or they remain in a small minority who will never change their minds, but aren’t important because nobody else cares.
Or there’s some way that none of us could possibly come up with that would simultaneously work perfectly and is completely ethical. There’s no way to say, but saying it definitely won’t ever work i think is just due to a lack of imagination in this case.

Or you could use your superintelligence to make make an ai that makes people okay with it in the same way the hypothetical earworm ai does https://youtu.be/-JlxuQ7tPgQ?si=yCSfctxpmaOdbnTd
