It'll affect developing countries more only because their labor force is dominated by low value added manual labor which is easiest to replace, so they will face the brunt of it. On the other hand, developed nations have been on this trajectory already, so the hit will be much more buffeted and gradual, but it will eat at the more automatable jobs like driving, harvesting, and jobs involving paperwork/discovery, fast food service, education, etc.
