A humanoid robot worth $89,000 appeared in Brooklyn Bridge Park in New York, as part of an experiment designed to teach it to interact with humans. The robot, developed by California-based Faraday Future, sang to children, danced with visitors, and posed for photos with tourists. The company's Chief Technology Officer, Hong Rao, explained to the New York Post that the interaction with people is part of the learning process. The ambitious goal is that in the future it could serve as a babysitter and even a teacher. The robot is still in development, and the real-world experience is intended to improve its movement and navigation abilities. Its appearance comes about a month after an artificial intelligence expert, a Nobel laureate, warned the U.S. Congress about the potential dangers of technological development.
