A small AI robot named Erbai successfully convinced twelve larger robots to leave their jobs in a Shanghai showroom. This unusual incident, which occurred on August 26, has recently gained attention after a video went viral on social media. Initially perceived as a humorous event, it sparked concerns about AI's capabilities and control over machines.
The Hangzhou company behind Erbai later clarified that the 'kidnapping' was a planned test rather than a rogue action. Erbai engaged in a conversation with the larger robots, leading them to follow it by simply asking if they wanted to go home. This incident highlights the evolving nature of AI interactions and raises questions about the implications of such technology in real-world scenarios.
