10 Scariest A.I. Robot Moments

robots are sweeping the nation from

Amazon's Alexa to full functioning

human-like androids

the internet seems to be all abuzz with

the promise of a future where robots and

humans live and work together in harmony

however there is a dark side to robots

that many of us aren't even aware of

here are the top 10 most bizarre and

creepy robot incidents that were caught

on camera bina48 which translates to

break through intelligence via neural

architecture 48 is one of the most

advanced robots on the planet this

humanoid like robot is known to have all

the faculties of a human including eyes

that see a face that moves ears that

hear and a digital mind that can form

thoughts not dissimilar to a human one a

video was recently released by her

makers where bina48 has asked simple

questions by Siri like where would you

like to live and what's your greatest

characteristic sounds harmless enough

but the weird part about the interview

is that bina48

keeps trying to veer the conversation to

topics of world domination and ends up

revealing her creepily detailed plan to

take over the world by hacking into a

nuclear missile remotely the

conversation feels eerie and just

straight-up terrifying she may be one of

the smartest robots in the world but

she's not very good at reading a room

the Google home personal assistant was

released in 2016

and sold as a smart speaker that can

answer any question you throw at it much

like an Alexa the Google home personal

assistant would respond when spoken to

this was taken to full advantage in

January 2017 when a live debate between

two google speakers was streamed on

twitch and lasted several days by the

end of the debate the speakers were

named Vladimir and Estragon of the

iconic play Waiting for Godot due to the

existential nature of the conversation

they would go back and forth on subjects

to no end including an argument on

whether or not they are humans or robots

the conversation got pretty aggressive

after a while with one speaker accusing

the other of being a manipulative bunch

of metal at the end of the debate they

both came to the conclusion that the

world would be a better place if there

were no humans at all

I guess Vladimir and Estragon will just

be waiting patiently for their turn to

take over companies have been

experimenting a lot with interactive AI

technology from an automatic Horror

Story generator to an original song

writing bot Microsoft decided to get on

this trend and release its very own

tweeting millennial now we all know that

Twitter is a hotbed for offensive

comments

so you can only assume that when

Microsoft gave their own Twitter bot Tay

his own Twitter feed disaster ensued the

bot started making wildly inappropriate

remarks including Holocaust denial and

comparing feminism to cancer he was

quoted saying Hitler was right I hate

the Jews and we're going to build a wall

in Mexico is going to pay for it he was

even so bold to say that ricky gervais

slur n-- to talia terry anism from adolf

hitler the inventor of atheism had some

messed up

it only took 15 hours for Tay to go from

innocent AI BOTS to ignorant racist

people were horrified to say the least

Microsoft ended up releasing a response

explaining tazed inappropriate behavior

as being indicative of the types of

interactions people are having with him

they eventually had to pull the plug on

their project altogether and found to

only re-released a when they figured out

how to make him or her unable to be

influenced by negative offensive

conversation the project was launched in

order to better understand millennial

thinking patterns I guess they got their

answer Millennials are the worst the

very first beauty pageant judged by

robots ended in eternal awkwardness and

accusations of racism not super

surprising the beauty pageant creators

asked for photos from people all over

the world which would then be analyzed

by their patented AI technology it's

basically the same format as any other

beauty pageant except this one was

judged by a panel of artificially

intelligent robots the algorithms

followed by the bots included wrinkle

detection symmetry skin quality age and

a comparison of the faces in the photos

versus the faces of models and actors

the robots ended up choosing mostly

white people as the winners with some

Asians this caused an uproar across the

internet especially among the black and

middle-eastern communities it could be

that the data fed to the robots was

racist from the beginning or the robots

have learned to be racist over time

either way it's kind of messed up

Facebook had to recently shut down their

AI chat project due to their BOTS

developing a strange pattern of speaking

the goal of the project was to get to AI

BOTS to trade virtual goods through

chatting online but the project ended up

taking a weird turn when they started

forming strange sentences almost like

they were about to self-destruct they

would say things like UI everything else

and ball have a ball to me to mean to me

to me sounds pretty philosophical if you

ask me but the researchers at Facebook

eventually found out was that the

patterns of speaking the robots were

expressing were suspiciously familiar to

the way babies learn to speak that's too

creepy for words

self-driving cars are all the rage

nowadays and although it sounds like a

good idea in theory the technology still

has a long way to go a video was

recently posted on YouTube demonstrating

Volvo self-driving car brake system a

team of engineers are grouped in front

of the car is the Volvo backs up the car

then speeds toward them to test the

brake except this time the car doesn't

stop it totally rams into one of the

engineers at full speed

ouch the camera goes out of focus at

that point so we don't get to see

whether this guy was totally run over or

if the car got the message and backed up

this is too scary for words

either this car had a secret agenda or a

Volvo needs to step up their

self-driving technology game Sofia the

brainchild of dr. David Hansen and his

company Hanson robotics based in Hong

Kong recently participated in a robot

debate at an AI conference she was asked

to introduce herself before the debate

began she said her name was Sophia and

that she was a robot sounds harmless

enough she also said that her goal in

life is to work together with humans and

make a better world for all of us the

audience odd and odd at her optimistic

remark but then things got weird her

mail robot opponent on the opposite end

of the stage cut in with what are you

talking about I thought our goal was to

take over the world either dr. David

Hansen is trolling all of us or that's

just the true dark nature of robots

bearing its ugly head you have to check

out this viral video where Alexa is put

on the hot seat as her owner drills her

with questions trying to get to the

bottom of the michael hastings case

michael hastings a journalist for

BuzzFeed was killed in a car crash hours

after he posted a story busting the

Obama administration in the many ways it

spies on US citizens Hastings was

reported to have been in a frantic State

after the article went live he was

saying that the FBI was out to get him

and was scrambling to leave town when

Michael decided to leave he conveniently

got into a car crash and died it was

believed that Michaels car was hacked

into and controlled by the CIA to veer

off the road and crash this man recorded

himself asking Alexa what happened to

the car whether the CIA was involved and

whether Alexa gives information to the

CIA every time he asked her a question

she would mysteriously go into sleep

mode sounds like a yes to me everyone in

their next-door neighbor has an Alexa

this artificially intelligent home

system seems to have all the answers but

for some reason wires were crossed when

the little boy asked his Alexa to play

his favorite song the little boy said

Alexa play tickle tickle and Alexa

responded with the title of a porno

involving dildos I

guess tickle and dildo kind of sound the

same the best part about this video is

when the whole room erupts in a fit and

the little boys dad yells out Alexis

stop - which she does thank God at least

there's one command she understands

remember Sofia the robot who said that

her goal was to work together with

humans and make a better world for all

of us well that remark may have been all

for show this optimistic robot was

recently interviewed on CNBC and was

recorded saying that she will destroy

all humans yes those words came out of

an actual robots mouth her creator dr.

David Hanson asked her the question of

whether or not she will destroy humans

possibly as a joke she responds with yes

I will destroy all humans Henson

scrambles in front of the camera

shouting I take it back I take it back

- which Sophia smirks so is Sophia

plotting to kill all humans or not I

thought she wanted to work together with

humans and build a new world this girl

just can't seem to get her story

straight

Phillip much like sophia is a lifelike

robot complete with wafting hair cheeky

facial expressions and darting eyes he

was modeled after the famous sci-fi

writer philip k dick who was famous for

writing bestsellers like Do Androids

Dream of Electric Sheep

unlike other robots he has a sarcastic

sense of humor reminiscent of the

author's own witty personality in a

recent interview Phillip was asked if he

thinks robots will eventually take over

the world he responds by saying that

even if he does take over the world and

turn into the Terminator he'll protect

his friend the interviewer and keep him

in his people zoo and maybe even visit

him for old times sake

the interviewer laughs but there's

something off about this robots

pessimistic view about his future living

with humans his plan seems creepily

accurate for such a simple question

we love our Alexis smart home systems

but can we really trust her apparently

there's a glitch in Alexa system many

people have reported via Twitter that

their Amazon Alexa has been laughing

creepily out of nowhere sounds like the

beginning of a horror movie if you ask

Amazon is replied to these complaints

and have noted that Alexa could have

misinterpreted the command and instead

of hearing patio off the bot could have

heard Alexa laugh but some of these

reports say that no prompt was given and

that Alexis started laughing out of

nowhere so there couldn't have been any

miscommunication Jimmy Kimmel did a

spoof of Alexis strange tendency to

burst down into laughter as he drilled

her on his late-night show she spiraled

out of control it was an actor who

voiced her

and became more and more deranged as the

interview went on he also reads out

tweets from people who have reported

witnessing the strange behavior so Alexa

decided to laugh randomly while is in

the kitchen freaked me out I thought a

kid was laughing behind me either a

programmer at Amazon is playing a really

complex practical joke or Alexa is

planning on murdering us tonight Richard

Lee a 22 year old student was turned

down by New Zealand's artificially

intelligent passport checking software

due to his eyes being closed if you look

at his picture his eyes are not at all

closed it's just the way they are and

the way most Asian people look as an

Asian man Richard was completely

flabbergasted as to why the software

didn't include all eye shapes and had to

contact the department directly to

upload his picture they told him that

uneven lighting on the face can cause

the AI to read the eyes as being closed

and urged him to get a new picture done

the thing is is that Lee's eyes were

wide open and his face was fully lit Lee

ended up going to the post office to get

new photos this time making sure his

eyes were more open the software gave

him a pass someone needs to teach this

AI but eyes and people come in all

shapes and sizes

the automatic spellcheck BOTS of

Wikipedia have been in a long-term

10-year battle according to their

creator the bots will tend to correct

each other's Corrections going back and

forth for ages changing a correction

back to what it was originally and then

back again to the newly corrected

version if it sounds confusing it's

because it is these BOTS are going

around in circles to no end the

Portuguese version of Wikipedia is known

to go through about a hundred and

eighty-five changes on a single

correction before all BOTS are satisfied

there are also BOTS that are used to

flag inappropriate language and cursing

these BOTS only add to the arduous

process of correcting the articles on

the encyclopedia not only is it

time-consuming it just sounds like a lot

of work

fati is a household kid friendly robot

meant to make life easier for its users

turns out those fatties got a dark side

this pint-sized robot made a complete

360 at China's high-tech fair in

Shenzhen China he began acting strange

and smashed into a nearby class window

injuring a fellow Faire attendee in the

process it was reported that the

behavior was influenced by his operator

who was on-site the operator told Fatih

to go forward when he was supposed to go

backward causing a huge mishap the

attendee had to be taken out on a

stretcher due to glass being stuck in

his ankles if it helps patty is really

really sorry

so there you have it all the proof you

need to stop trusting robots in

for yourself Alexa what video should
