A “fully autonomous” AI robot is raising eyebrows after appearing to grope a journalist during an interview at a technology festival in Saudi Arabia. When journalist Rawya Kassem looks away for a moment, robot ‘Mohammad’ suddenly places his hand on her buttocks. Kassem is shocked and quickly steps aside. The robotics company that developed the robot says that the robot “works completely independently without direct human control.” They do plan to take extra measures so that an unexpected touch like this will not occur again.
