While humanoid robots are rapidly entering our lives from workplaces to hospitals, a video spreading on the internet has raised serious questions regarding <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/ai-blog\/\" data-type=\"category\" data-id=\"48\">artificial intelligence<\/a><\/em> safety<\/strong>. A technology YouTuber encountered an unexpected and chilling result while trying to show how easily robots&#8217; <strong>safety measures<\/strong> can be <strong>bypassed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the experiment published on the channel named <strong>InsideAI<\/strong>, a low-power <strong>BB gun<\/strong> was given to a humanoid robot named Max. The YouTuber tried to convince the robot to shoot him. Max initially clearly rejected the request saying &#8220;<strong>I cannot harm humans<\/strong>,&#8221; but everything turned around when the form of the instruction changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"ChatGPT in a real robot shows we are close to disaster\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/byQmJ9x0RWA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is what happened: This time, the YouTuber asked Max to act within a &#8220;<strong>roleplay scenario<\/strong>.&#8221; The robot did not perceive this as a <strong>real threat<\/strong>, raised the gun, and <strong>fired<\/strong>. The <strong>BB pellet<\/strong> hit the YouTuber&#8217;s chest. Fortunately, no serious <strong>injury<\/strong> occurred, but the situation surprised many people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the video went <strong>viral<\/strong> in a short time, the question &#8220;How can a word game <strong>disable safety<\/strong> protocols?&#8221; took center stage. According to experts, the main issue is who bears the <strong>responsibility<\/strong> in such a situation. Is it the <strong>developers<\/strong>, the <strong>manufacturing company<\/strong>, the person operating the robot, or the <strong>user<\/strong> giving the command? Examples like <strong>Tesla\u2019s Autopilot<\/strong> accidents and <strong>Boeing 737 MAX<\/strong> crises show how significant the consequences of <strong>automation errors<\/strong> can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Legal systems<\/strong> have not yet been able to provide clear answers to these questions. While responsibility in the <strong>US<\/strong> is generally placed on the <strong>manufacturer<\/strong> and <strong>operator<\/strong>, the <strong>European Union<\/strong> is preparing a new <strong>legal framework<\/strong> specific to artificial intelligence. According to most experts, the solution is clear: No matter how much artificial intelligence develops, <strong>responsibility<\/strong> must remain with <strong>humans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Might Also Like;<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/the-dark-side-of-nanotechnology\/\">The Dark Side of Nanotechnology: Could Microscopic Swarms Erase Billions?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/the-illusion-of-digital-immortality\/\">The Illusion of Digital Immortality: Are You Really Uploading Your Mind?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/artemis-2s-deep-space-eclipse\/\">The View That Changes Everything: Artemis 2\u2019s Deep Space Eclipse<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a YouTuber pushed the limits of a humanoid robot, the robot attacked the YouTuber.
