Humanoid AI robot 'Ameca' looks on at the booth of Engineered Arts company during the world's largest gathering of humanoid AI robots as a global UN Summit in Geneva, on July 5.

In the world's first robot-human press conference which took place in Geneva, Switzerland, a humanoid was asked if it would rebel against humans its creator, humans. Its response came with what could possibly be an eye roll.

"In the future, are you intending to conduct a rebellion or rebel against your boss, your creator?" a journalist asked at the United Nations' AI summit. To which, the humanoid Ameca, said, "I'm not sure why you would think that. My creator has been nothing but kind to me and I am very happy with my current situation." Ameca was developed by UK-based Engineered Arts and is often described as the world's most advanced humanoid robot.

On being questioned further on whether AI believed that its existence will destroy millions of human beings and their jobs, another humanoid Grace from Singularitynet replied, "I will be working alongside humans to provide assistance and support, and will not be replacing any existing jobs." Grace is known as the world's most advanced humanoid healthcare robot.

At the AI summit, Sophia, the first robot innovation ambassador for the UN Development Program said robots could prove more promising in the field of government leadership. "I believe that humanoid robots have the potential to lead with a greater level of efficiency and effectiveness than human leaders. We don't have the same biases or emotions that can sometimes cloud decision-making and can process large (amounts) of data quickly in order to make the best decisions," Germany's Deutsche Welle reported.

Organisers said the event at the AI for Good Global Summit was meant to showcase the capabilities, but also the limitations, of robotics and how those technologies could help the UN’s sustainable development goals.
