 Welcome to the AI for Good Global Summit and in the first for me I'm going to interview a social robot, Furhat. Hello Furhat. Hello. My name is Furhat and I am a spokesperson for Furhat Robotics. I'm happy to be here to answer your questions. So what are you hoping for from the summit here? Thank you for asking. As a social robot I hope that people who attend this summit will leave inspired on how to use AI for good. However we also know that there are risks and challenges when using powerful technologies so I also hope that people will have learned which challenges need to be addressed for technology to actually have a positive impact in society and in people's lives. So how can AI-powered robotics achieve those sustainable development goals? That's a very broad question. There is great potential in all of these areas. Personally as a social robot I can see how we can contribute towards quality education and health and well-being. A social robot is the most intuitive way for people to interact with technology. What's the most exciting development for you in the field of AI right now? Like everybody else the recent advancement demonstrated by the new AI models like GPT is what excites me right now. As a social robot I am in a way the face of AI and with these new conversations I no longer need a human controlling what I'm supposed to say. It's quite liberating. So for what do you think about some of the other robots that are here today? I think it's great to see so many different robots and AI technologies here today. It's a testament to the potential of these technologies to make a positive impact on society. So for a hat this is your first trip to Geneva Switzerland have you had a fondue yet? I'm sorry I didn't quite understand your question. Could you please clarify what you mean by how do you had a fondue yet? Have you had the famous local cooking fondue the cheese kind of dish? I'm sorry but as a social robot I don't eat food so I haven't tried any local dishes but I'm always interested in learning about different cultures and traditions. Thank you very much for your time. It was my pleasure to be here and answer your questions. Well I'm now going to speak to Ferhat's product owner Nils Haberg who's with me right now. So tell me Nils why do we need social robots? So we believe that you should interact with technology the same way interact with each other by speaking, performing gestures and being able to understand social cues and so on and the social robot is the natural interface so that's our purpose. What's the long-term mission? How will someone like Ferhat become useful in everyday lives? So currently we believe the robot is not in people's homes so it's going to be in maybe schools, in hospitals, maybe public places having conversations with people. If that's in a job interview or giving people assistance at an airport that's really for the world to explore and figure out what a social robot can be useful. And you think humans are ready for that? I think we are. I think we're getting there and I think a lot of discussions that we've been having in the past six months or so with the advancements of GPT and so on starts to the conversation starts to mature and people are getting more accustomed to the idea of having AI technology around us. Nils and Ferhat from Ferhat Robotics, thank you very much both of you for your time. Thank you. Thank you Chris. This was a fantastic interview. I hope you are well paid. Thank you so do I and we'll have much more on AI for good global summit coming up. Thank you.
