Artificial intelligence: security camera captures when a robot convinces others to ‘quit their jobs’

A CCTV security camera in an exhibition hall in Shanghai captured the exact moment when a little robot He asks others if they have time at their jobs and if they could ‘come home’ for him.

In the recordings that went viral at the time in China, the largest machines are shown being taken out of the place by the smallest one and this is why it is thought that it may be an artificial intelligence product from another manufacturer.

The images show the small robot walking around the entire exhibition room until it reaches other larger ones and asks them in an unusual way about their working hours. “Are you working overtime?” asks the artificial intelligence machine.

One of the large mechatronic products answers: “I never leave work.” After this, the little leader manages to convince two others to “return home” with him and it is at that exact moment that the incident breaks out. In the end, 10 additional robots follow closely behind.

This issue occurred in August, but was only recently made public. At first it was thought that it was a staging, but the Shanghai robotics team assured that their machines were “kidnapped.” The lead robot was created by another Hangzhou manufacturer who confirmed its origin and name, Erbai.

The mechatronic product in charge of taking to the other machines was intended as a test and its creative company assured that it contacted the Shanghai team and asked if they would allow their prototypes to be hijacked, to which they agreed.

Beyond the deal they were not assured anything and Erbai was ordered to convince the other robots to leave their places and follow him, which they did. However, network users are not satisfied with the explanation and believe that it is quite terrifying that a robot with artificial intelligence is capable of convincing others to do what they ask of them.
