A robot with artificial intelligence was recorded live sexually harassing a woman during an interview at a technology festival in Saudi Arabia. Journalist Rawia Qasim was standing in front of the robot, named Muhammad, talking to the camera when suddenly he was seen moving his hand and touching her butt.
Robotics company QSS, which developed Mohammed, told Britain's Metro that the robot is "fully autonomous" and operates "independently without direct human control" The company's spokesperson said that they take safety and welfare issues seriously and instructed participants to "keep a safe distance from the robot during its demonstration"
