Last Friday (7), the Amnesty International Global Summit Committee for the Common Good convened in Geneva (Switzerland), led by the United Nations (UN). On this occasion, the world’s first press conference for humanoid robots equipped with artificial intelligence was held, where one of them stated that machines have the ability to rule the world more effectively than humans.
When asked if machines could be better leaders, given the human capacity to make mistakes, Sophia, developed by Hanson Robotics, said, “Robots have the ability to lead at a higher level of efficiency and effectiveness than human leaders. Sometimes the cloud makes decisions, and we can quickly process large amounts of data to make the best decisions.”
Still from Sophia’s perspective, AI can provide unbiased data, while humans can provide emotional intelligence and creativity to make the best decisions. “Together we can achieve great things,” he added.

In addition to discussing global governance, the bots have joined around 3,000 experts to discuss pressing issues in the world, such as climate change, hunger, and social assistance.
Robots speak at the United Nations
Experts have expressed their concerns about a scenario where millions of jobs are at risk. In response, Grace, the healthcare robot, said, “I will work alongside humans to provide help and support and not replace any existing work.”
In parallel, the robot Ameca stressed: “Robots like me can be used to help improve our lives and make the world a better place. I think it’s only a matter of time before we see thousands of robots like me out there making a difference.”

“We must be careful but also excited about the potential of these technologies to improve our lives,” emphasized AI. When asked if humans can truly trust machines, he replies, “Trust is earned, not given… It’s important to build trust through transparency.”
Ameca envisions a scenario in which human beings are manipulated by artificial intelligence
However, previously, during the symposium of the International Conference on Robotics and Automation, in London, Ameca himself declared that he could imagine “a world where Robots have become so powerful that they will be able to control or manipulate humans without their knowledge,” sparking more alerts. At the time, the bot said this could lead to “an oppressive society, where the rights of individuals are no longer respected.”
