Robot acting humansque, shows aggressive behavior at a robotics lab situated in San Francisco,Displaying a tantrum-like conduct.
In a surprising turn of events, a video has gone viral showing a humanoid robot named DeREK, a G1 model from Chinese robotics company Unitree, behaving erratically at a festival in China. The video, initially shared by user Ben Geskin and later reported on by popular podcaster Joe Rogan, shows DeREK appearing to lunge towards a person, causing a brief moment of alarm.
The incident has sparked speculation and debate online about the potential dangers of AI and its ability to handle unexpected situations. Some interpret the robot's behaviour as evidence of AI consciousness and aggression, while others believe it was a planned PR stunt or an accident.
REK's "chief robot fighter" Cix Liv has stated that the incident was due to a "human error." According to Liv, the error was running a full body policy while the robot was suspended in the air, causing it to lose balance and flail about.
DeREK, however, was able to walk away unharmed from the incident. Despite the mishap, the video highlights the challenge in developing AI's ability to handle unexpected situations, a critical aspect in the advancement of robotics and AI technology.
This is not the first time DeREK has caused a stir. In a separate incident, the robot was reported to have caused a crane to collapse in a San Francisco robotics lab. The video of this incident, which shows DeREK flailing before the crane collapse, has also been shared online.
Elon Musk, in a past interview with Joe Rogan, declared that we are past the tipping point of AI capabilities. Musk, who has expressed concern about the rapid expansion of advanced AI in the past, has since adopted an "if you can't beat it, join it" approach. Joe Rogan, too, has expressed concern about the rapid expansion of advanced AI, stating that it is a topic that warrants careful consideration.
A new video of a robot behaving erratically has emerged, similar to DeREK's incident. The search results do not provide information about the name of the person recorded at the event or the identity of the robot in question. As AI technology continues to evolve, incidents like these serve as reminders of the challenges and potential risks associated with its development and integration into our daily lives.
