Geneva: Robots presented at an artificial intelligence forum have assured that they will not rebel against humans or take their jobs.
The world’s first press conference involving humans and robots was held in Geneva on Friday.
Nine humanoid robots participated in this conference called ‘AI for Good’. At the conference, organizers made the case for artificial intelligence and the robots it creates to help solve big world problems like hunger and disease.
Grace, a medical robot dressed in a blue nurse’s uniform, told the conference that she (the robot) will work with humans to provide support and will not replace a human.
Ben Goertzel of Singularity Net (creator of Grace) asked Grace if she could say this with confidence. To which Grace replied yes.
Amica, a facial expression robot, said robots like his could be used to improve human lives and help make the world a better place.
