A Saudi AI company's humanoid robot allegedly touched a female reporter inappropriately at an event, sparking heated debate on social media.
The incident occurred at a technology event in Riyadh, during which ‘Mohammad’ appears to have touched a female reporter inappropriately., has always ignited the fear of systems taking away human jobs in the future. However, little did people assume that such systems could mimic some forms of human behavior that are not desirable.Unitree’s H1 sets world record as fastest humanoid robot at 7.38 mph
“I am Mohammad, the first Saudi robot in the form of a man. I was manufactured and developed here in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as a national project to demonstrate our achievements in the field of artificial intelligence,” said the first bilingual male Saudi-made humanoid robot on the Main Stage at DeepFest.
As a response to the incident, its makers claim that Mohammad is “fully autonomous,” and he was functioning “independently without direct human control,” as reported by Metro News UK. Artificial intelligence is used via a built-in camera to identify when a person is in front of the robot. Whenever someone says “Hello Sara,” it will strike up a conversation.
