AI robot’s sudden movement at Chinese festival raises safety concerns

New Delhi: A video of an AI-powered robot behaving erratically at a festival in China has sparked a debate on social media about the safety of artificial intelligence.

The footage, which has gone viral, shows the robot standing next to security guards before suddenly moving towards the crowd. Security personnel quickly intervened, pushing the robot aside as attendees backed away.

While some social media users claimed that the robot was attacking people, others suggested it was a malfunction. The event organizers described the incident as a technical glitch but acknowledged that it has raised concerns about AI credibility.

The exact cause of the robot’s sudden movement remains unclear, with some reports speculating that it might have collided with a barricade.
