This robot explains why you shouldn't worry about artificial intelligence

If you're freaked out a bit by artificial intelligence, here's a robot with a potentially reassuring message. A service robot called REEM can tackle the question: "Should I worry about AI?" (Recent concerns along these lines have touched on everything from killer robots to job-destroying automatons.) "The short answer is you do not need to worry about artificial intelligence for many years," the robot says. "Artificial intelligence requires a body to interact with the world. And we are very far from creating an artificial body with a brain that is smarter than a very basic animal."
