JE Technology Desk: AI became the favourite tech talking point in the world recently after the launch of ChatGPT and the AI arms race of 2023 between big tech firms. But robots have been fascinating to the world for a long time. As a result, in the first robot-human press conference in Geneva, Switzerland, nine AI robots drew attention because of their responses to their takes on human queries. One such response was an eye roll to the question if humanoids will rebel against humans, according to Moneycontrol.

At the United Nations' AI summit, a media person questioned whether the robot would "conduct a rebellion or rebel against your boss?" Answering this, Ameca, a humanoid machine, replied, "I'm not sure why you would think that." Ameca adds that the current situation is cordial, and the creator has been kind till now.

In another incident, when questioned about the existential threat to humanity from AI and jobs, robot Grace (a healthcare robot) replied that robots would "provide assistance and support" to humans and not take away jobs.

In one more instance, Sophia, the robot innovation ambassador for United Nations Development Program (UNDP), added that the machines could "prove more promising" in the domain of government leadership.

"I believe that humanoid robots have the potential to lead with a greater level of efficiency and effectiveness than human leaders," the robot replied while highlighting the difference in biases and emotions that can affect decisions, according to Deutsche Welle. Plus, the capability of processing huge amounts of data in less time was also talked about.
