Robots will eventually handle physical work as well, though they are not quite there yet.

Original Quote

Eventually, robots will handle physical work too. They're not quite there yet. But 'not quite there yet' in AI terms has a way of becoming 'here' faster than anyone expects.

Automation of physical labor would displace blue-collar workers in addition to knowledge workers, broadening economic disruption across the workforce, but could also represent safer working conditions for humans.
