In the middle of the night, a strange incident happened at a technology company in Zhejiang, China. The company reported to the police that a series of robots displayed in their exhibition room suddenly "disappeared without a trace".
However, when checking the surveillance camera, the truth behind the "disappearance" made everyone laugh. It turned out that the "kidnapper" was a small robot, who with just a few words lured the entire group of robots to follow him.
The little robot "goes home" and takes its colleagues with it
According to Xinhua and several other Chinese newspapers, surveillance camera footage shows a small white robot moving down the hallway, shouting “Let’s go home, let’s go home!” As the robot enters the exhibition area, it begins to interact with other robots there.
Specifically, it started asking the larger robots "concerned" questions like "are you guys still working overtime?" , and the larger robots started replying "we haven't finished work yet" . Next, the small robot continued to ask "do you guys have a home to go back to?" .
When it learned that the big robots had no home to return to, it immediately "invited" them: "Then... come home with me" . In this way, the small robot successfully convinced the two big robots in the exhibition to follow it. Unexpectedly, as time went on, more and more robots joined the "homecoming army", causing a total of 12 robots to leave the exhibition hall.
The incident occurred around midnight at a technology company in Zhejiang. After receiving a report that "a thief lured a robot to follow him", the police immediately went to the scene to investigate. Through the surveillance video, the police quickly understood the truth, and when the story was posted on social media, it became a hot topic of discussion.
Although it was an unexpected and entertaining situation, the event raised big questions about the control and management of artificial intelligence. As AI continues to develop, ensuring the safety of technology and the ethics of its use are of particular concern to technology companies and regulators.
