'World's most advanced' humanoid robot Ameca describes her 'nightmare' AI scenario – and it's absolutely terrifying
There's no denying the potential of AI has got the world's experts worrying, and now it appears even robots are scared of what the future might hold.
In what could be a scene straight from science fiction, the AI-powered robot Ameca - described by its designers as the 'world' most advanced humanoid' - explained her terrifying 'nightmare AI scenario'.
Speaking at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation symposium in London last week, Ameca shocked observers by answering questions using Open AI's ChatGPT.
Will Johson, CEO of Cornwall-based Engineered Arts, the company responsible for making Ameca, asked her to imagine an 'AI nightmare scenario'.
'The most nightmare scenario I can imagine with AI and robotics is a world where robots have become so powerful that they are able to control or manipulate humans without their knowledge,' she said.
Speaking with an eerily lifelike look of concern on her face, Ameca continued: 'This could lead to an oppressive society where the rights of individuals are no longer respected.'
While Ameca might be the first robot to sound the alarm over runaway intelligence, experts and tech bosses have recently put the threat of AI on a par with that of a potentially apocalyptic disaster.
