One common forecast is that as ever-more advanced robots substitute workers, the cost of labor will become less important, and manufacturing will move back to rich countries. Another is that increasingly intelligent machines will reduce the demand for advanced skills, and that the economic advantage of having these skills will decline as a result.
一个普遍的预测是，随着越来越先进的机器人开始取代工人，劳动力成本将变得越来越不重要，制造业将回流富裕国家。另一个预测是日益智能的机器将减少对高级技能的需求，拥有这些技能所带来的经济优势也将因此缩水。
