It's about bringing in more non-white colonists, labor is just an excuse.
Also, as far along as robotics and AI have advanced: they still can't replace a sixteen year-old who knows how to improvise and cut-corners when necessary. Go figure. That's the real problem: computers only follow instructions, to a fault. They simply can't figure shit out, on their own, without a predetermined template. The day we can teach computers how to think autonomously, making decisions based on past experiences to achieve the best results, regardless of hard-wired instructions: is the day I welcome our new overlords.
The problem is when the burger maker 3000 declares war on humanity because we get in the way of its prime directive to make burgers as effectively as possible.

A little too soon. The day the AI can be more innovative and creative than humans for any given problems will be the day I will welcome the robot overlords. But by then, they’ll have to have the entire laws of the universe in their database anyway.
How's that? Humans don't have all, most, or even many of the laws of the universe in their databases.
