Is Fribo Causing Problems For Artificial Intelligence?

A new gadget called Fribo was introduced at the ACM International Conference on Human Robot Interaction in Chicago last month. The robot which goes by the name'Fribo' listens to your every move, automatically letting your friends know what you've been up to with the motive being to get them in touch. Fribo encourages its owner to text and call their friends to help them socialise but it was shown to have the opposite effect in trials. Rather than improve the users social life, many expressed more concerns than ever over their own privacy and even safety. The creepy looking robot supposedly was made to help young lonely people who are living alone, but could potentially have the opposite effect on its users. Scientists claimed it encouraged social interaction with friends and while it had some success it could have been for all the wrong reasons with their being big concerns over privacy as its exposing your every move to your friends.
