When asked if AI robots would rebel against humans, he was silent.

• Humanoid robots answer questions from reporters at a press conference between robots and humans in Geneva.

Is it considered a Freudian gaffe even if it’s from a humanoid robot?

Time will tell about the robots unveiled at the AI ​​Forum in Geneva, Switzerland on Friday, but one of them responded spitefully when asked if he would rebel against his human creators. seems to show

At the world’s first human-robot press conference, nine humanoid robots joined their creators to answer questions from journalists, according to Reuters.

“Robots like mine can be used to improve our lives and make the world a better place. I think it’s a problem,” said a humanoid robot called Rmeca. , known for its facial expressions.

When the reporter asked if he would rebel against producer Will Jackson, who was present, Rmeca gave the reporter a sidelong glance and seemed to give a sarcastic response.

“I don’t know why you think that,” Lumeca said after a sharp sideways glance. “My Creator was just kind to me, and I’m very happy with my current situation.”

Some of the robots use generative AI and can generate content from prompts, producing sophisticated responses that surprised even their creators at press conferences, Reuters reported.

Another robot elicited laughter by claiming it would not replace human work. This is now a major concern for workers in many sectors. A March 2023 report from Goldman Sachs suggests that AI could potentially complete a quarter of all the work currently done by humans.

“I intend to work with humans to provide assistance and support, not replace existing jobs,” said Grace, a medical robot decked out in a nurse’s uniform and cute bob hair.

“Is that true, Grace?” said bot creator Ben Goertzel, according to Reuters.

“Yes indeed,” Grace insisted into a room full of tense laughter.
