It’s finally happening, we’re doomed. Robots based on artificial intelligence are starting to think for themselves and group together. The future of Skynet is upon us! While it is fun to joke about such a crazy future, it is not something many of us are really worried about, but it may be something to think about. This comes at a time when a video is circulating in which a small robot manages to convince his brethren to leave their stations and go home with them.
The incident happened at a showroom in Shanghai, where CCTV footage captured a small robot wandering through the facility, conversing with other robots by asking them why they weren’t going home, before inviting them to return home with it.
The robot’s name was Erbai, and as you can see in the full video as shared by X-user EvanKirstel, one wonders if we should impose stricter restrictions on the development of AI and robotics.
