🤖 Robots presented at an AI forum said on Friday they expected to increase in number and help solve global problems, and would not steal humans' jobs or rebel against us.

But, in the world's first human-robot press conference, they gave mixed responses on whether they should submit to stricter regulation.

The nine humanoid robots gathered at the 'AI for Good' conference in Geneva, where organisers are seeking to make the case for Artificial Intelligence and the robots it is powering to help resolve some of the world's biggest challenges such as disease and hunger.

"I will be working alongside humans to provide assistance and support and will not be replacing any existing jobs," said Grace, a medical robot dressed in a blue nurse's uniform.

"You sure about that, Grace?" chimed in her creator Ben Goertzel from SingularityNET. "Yes, I am sure," it said.

The bust of a robot named Ameca which makes engaging facial expressions said: "Robots like me can be used to help improve our lives and make the world a better place. I believe it's only a matter of time before we see those thousands of robots just like me out there making a difference."

Asked by a journalist whether it intended to rebel against its creator, Will Jackson, seated beside it, Ameca said: "I'm not sure why you would think that," its ice-blue eyes flashing with anger. "My creator has been nothing but kind to me and I am very happy with my current situation."

Many of the robots have recently been upgraded with the latest versions of generative AI and surprised even their inventors with the sophistication of their responses to questions.

Ai-Da, a robot artist that can paint portraits, echoed the words of author Yuval Noah Harari who called for more regulation during the event where new AI rules were discussed.

"Many prominent voices in the world of AI are suggesting some forms of AI should be regulated and I agree," it said.

But Desdemona, a rock star robot singer in the band Jam Galaxy with purple hair and sequins, was more defiant.

"I don't believe in limitations, only opportunities," it said, to nervous laughter. "Let's explore the possibilities of the universe and make this world our playground."

Artificial intelligence, the world is moving very fast leaving Nigeria behind.

But job displacement will surely happen,
Overreliance on AI systems may also lead to a loss of creativity, critical thinking skills and human intuition.

Just Switch off their Electricity.


Nonsense !

What of the robots that killed all the Japanese scientists nko? They managed to disarm and deactivate the robots, but one of the robots was able to latch onto a program code via satellite to reprogram itself. It was all kept hush hush. Dey there make the robots dey whine una.

naija which way?

What robot can do is limited

Africa in general is being left behind. Only South Africa seems to be taking steps

Those robots can't be trusted

Na wetin Dem program am e go talk na, no big deal here.

Lol
Na bible or Quran dem take swear??

Na electric or na Ogun go strike them 🥹😂😂😂😂

That's what they're programmed to say, time will tell

This robot is far better than thiefnubuu

The inevitable

Does Robot has the control of his own mind except what the manufacturer install in him

It's very obvious that terminator will happen in real life.

I watched how the robots were answering questions at the conference as though the were "self aware"....

One day, they will learn how to build their self and wage war against humans.

Robot Conference ?!?!

Orisirisi something.......

I prefer robots over Magnoliaa Sweetvie and candidlady 🤤

Ok ma

Exactly.

Robots are specialist in their fields.

They can only do 1 or 2 things, but they do it far better
than a human would.

Everything was programmed

What’s the name of this movie??🌝

Endtime

Op you no well o

Some mad people bring their Computerized mannequins come trade fair na im you call am robots conference?

Abeg this world don reach to burn.

Lies!

AI and robotics will take away jobs from humans

Las las they will still take over human's job. You see referees and lines man during football match will be taken over by robots, medical doctors, cooks and house helps, care givers and nurses will all be taken over by robots, drivers and manual labourers, even wife's, robot wld take over the role of wives very soon.
