A CCTV camera captured the moment an AI humanoid robot lost its cool and lashed out at the engineers who were programming it.
The incident happened in an undisclosed factory in China that manufactures robots. The robot, in particular, was identified as a Unitree H1 humanoid robot. In the video, it was suspended in the air by a crane while two men were working on it.
Suddenly, the robot started flaring its arms as if it were trying to shoo the workers away or even hit them. It continued to move uncontrollably until the engineers flipped the stop switch. Video below:
The unintentional attack, again, brought about talks about the dangers of artificial intelligence and how humans can survive if robots advance beyond our control and go rogue.
Earlier this year in China, a humanoid robot seemed to attack a crowd of people that had gathered to watch it. Reports also said the robot had tripped on the base of the barrier.
Well, before the uprising of AI and robots happens, if it will, humans have already started using them to questionable lengths and abusing them too.
From Kim Kardashian posing to having finished a steamy encounter on bed with Tesla’s Optimus, to Kai Cenat kicking and bullying a member of the Unitree family.
