There are already fears of artificial intelligence (AI) taking our jobs, or even ending humanity all together. Now a robot has been filmed apparently groping a woman in Saudi Arabia.
The seven-second clip was taken at DeepFest in Riyadh – an event billed as the ‘premier meeting place for the global artificial intelligence ecosystem’.
During the showcase, reporter Rawya Kassem was seen speaking in front of the AI robot, called Mohammad, when it appeared to reach out and attempt to touch her inappropriately.
Ms Kassem immediately flinched, and turned around with her hand raised, appearing to admonish him while continuing her job.
