AI humanoid robots hold UN press conference, say they could be more efficient and effective world leaders

Ben Goertzel said the sky's'not even the limit' when it comes to the potential impact of artificial general intelligence. A panel of robots told reporters in Switzerland Friday that they could be more efficient leaders than human beings, among other statements. The nine artificial intelligence-enabled humanoid social robots also explained at a Geneva conference center that they wouldn't take anyone's jobs or stage a rebellion. Conference organizers at the United Nations-driven AI for Good Global Summit did not specify to what extent their responses were scripted or programmed. Some of the robots are capable of producing preprogrammed responses and the United Nations Development Program's first robot innovation ambassador, Sophia, sometimes relies on responses scripted by a team of writers at Hanson Robotics.
