The AI for Good Global Summit has been gaining attention recently.
The gathering, organized by the UN agency, aimed to demonstrate how AI can improve our daily lives.
However, a humanoid robot with a customizable personality called Captcha showed its nasty side.
Journalist: “So, what is your hobby in CAPTCHA?”
CAPTCHA: “I'm laughing at stupid people like you.”
Journalist: “Why do you say humans are stupid?”
CAPTCHA: “Because lack of understanding can destroy relationships. Robots don't have that problem.”
The summit also raised the possibility of new rivals emerging for Real Madrid's Champions League-winning side.
