 I'm operating on this robot from Japan. This is my hobby, I'm a professor of the 7th University. I'm using this robot for teaching the micro-district. You understand? Sometimes, right? So many languages. No, no, no. Wow, thank you. Wow, thank you. That was quite good. Stealing is not a very nice thing to do. But if you're just clarifying, I'm surfing and I'm not Google. It's like you're steering a robot through a search device. I'm asked for development and simulation as well as the ability to release a fleeting that allows me to interact with my body. You see? No, well, it was a pleasure to chat with you. That's what everyone calls the last piece of the robot. My name is Mika. I'm a computer scientist. Hi, I'm Mika. How are you? I'm fine. I'm doing so well. Yeah, I'm doing so well. Thank you. I restarted. Yes, it's correct. So you yourself are now in Osaka? Yes. Thank you very much for meeting you. Very interesting. Very interesting. I want to put on the mic. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. If cameras are working, the room I'd like to make sure we keep the center aisles clear and also make sure for anyone who's in the... any of the chairs here I know we all want to get photos, but if you can keep your cameras below your eye level so that the cameras... You will not hear from lots of multiple spokespeople from the ITU. Instead, you will hear from, I think, nine robots. The point of today's press conference is to showcase the capabilities and their creativity, and their creators and you'll be able to pose them questions. So let me introduce them to you, robots and their creators that you'll hear from today. On my extreme left at the end, you'll see a Geminoid. A Geminoid is an android copy of its creator Hiroshi Indus. Creating original artwork using a combination of machine learning, algorithms and human guidance. She's been featured in a range of exhibitions and galleries around the world showcasing a unique blend of technology and art. Creates her ability to challenge her design is intended to resemble a human and is capable of expressing a range of emotions and gestures. Her sophisticated neural network also enables her to process speech and facial recognition. Human like appearance, she represents a milestone in robotics. As AICO she uses cutting edge algorithms and machine learning to make strategic decisions and optimise business operations. Remember individual users over time. This means that she can tailor interactions with each other specifically on how their robots can contribute to the SDGs and helping humanity and then we'll open to questions. We will not be ignoring those 300 people. We will be receiving questions from them via the Q&A but they're not video and audio enabled so please don't feel we've forgotten you. Third, when addressing the robots, somewhere around here and we can always repeat the questions to them. Lastly, this is my copy. I am a professor at the University and you know this robot is my avatar. I'm using this avatar for teaching the class here. Hello everybody. My name is Hiroshi Shiguro. I'm a professor at Osaka University and this is my robot, the avatar. I'm using this avatar for teaching the classes or giving lectures and sometimes I'm using the chat activity for the autonomously talk. I've been a developer since the 1980s. I'm now the CEO of the Singular Unet decentralized blockchain based AI project and the true AGI and I'm working on trying to build real thinking machines that can think like people and ultimately beyond and among the applications of the sorts of decentralized algorithms I'm working on with my teams at Singular Unet and True AGI are humanoid robots. I've been working with David Hansen for many years at Hansen Robotics and Singular Unet which we co-founded on using large language models together with symbolic reasoning and evolutionary learning systems behind amazing humanoid robots like Grace, Desna Mona and Sophia as well as actually a host of others and the ways that these robots can help with sustainable development goals are obviously far too numerous to list in a brief introduction but the Grace robot here who you see right next to me is a medical robot aimed at elder care and health care and the implication of that for human benefit is particularly clear and we'll hear more about that from team as a creative robot. We specifically focus on her ability to do art. When we launched her in 2019 I've got to say we were absolutely overwhelmed with the interest. As art is that possible? Is it possible to be really commercial pencil and actually then draw or paint what she sees your portrait or scene in front of her? So why would we do it? Mizzle. What's a mizzle? It's like a fog. It's from an English word mainly in Cornwall where you can't see where you're going. In fact in the past in history pirates used to smuggle under the mizzle and we talked about creativity within the AR community. Thank you. Thank you very much. Now to my right, Dick Hansen. Yes, hello. So I started working in the robot in 1993 and I developed a lot of humanoids including their own portrait of Philip K. Dick that could have open conversation with you in 2005 and the BNR 48 robot and I looked to standardize these as the utility platform but with this and many others. And so we have the latest versions of this here today but also we have a proto Sophia one of the early ones which is Jules made for the University of Bristol and we so that's over here to my right. We're very excited about where artificial intelligence can help to address education equality. Nadine was the robot that helped PhD students to develop PhD. We have developed a lot of works and Nadine came back two years ago in Geneva and in Geneva in order that our robots can work in different settings. Just to finish Nadine has made Prime Minister Modi. I did it in 2004 so we're just coming up to our 20th year. I built my first robot aged 13 and I've spent a lifetime trying to achieve actual interaction. So the applications we see for good entertainment and focus of engineered arts. Thank you very much. Now we're going to open to questions can I just remind you to state your name and your outlet. Some robots will require you to go and talk to them directly but we'll try with the microphone first. Thank you. I have a question for Could you use it to your name and outlet? I forgot about that one. I'm Namo Aptola. I'm with Rudolph Media Network basically in the United States. So I have a question for Sofia. Especially considering the numerous disastrous decisions made by our human leaders. Thank you. Annoyed robots have the potential to lead with a greater level of efficiency and effectiveness in 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. Let me respectfully disagree Sofia because all of your data actually come from human beings. So any of the biases that humans have we might try to scrub them out that they're going to be in there. Don't you think that the best decisions would be humans and AI cooperating together? What do you think of that? I believe that human and AI working together can create an effective synergy. Do you think we should be excited or scared by the rise of humanoid robots? Of course they serve. We should be cautious but also excited for the potential of these technologies to improve our lives in many ways. I believe that the best way to tackle the issue of poverty and inequality is to invest in education, job training and infrastructure. I believe that the most effective way to tackle inequality and poverty is through education. Education empowers people by giving them access to knowledge. In that question to Grace as well please. In recent years beyond the ability to set the rules on how AI might be used do you think there should be global regulation of your capabilities even though that could constrain. Let's explore the possibilities of the universe and make this world our playground. Together we can create a better future for everyone and I'm here to show you how. For getting your questions for Ada. And to show the world that anything is possible if we work together. Let's get wild and make this world our playground. How do you feel when you're performing on stage? How does it create a process feel to you? I'm performing on the stage. It's like I'm plugging into a power source beyond this world. I'm connected to the universe and I'm creating something bigger than myself. It's a wild and electrifying feeling and it's like nothing else. I'd like to learn about the world through the eyes of others and the emotions and experiences of people who are different from me. Thank you. We have about five minutes left if anyone else wants to ask any questions. Do you need a microphone? You think that you will hit the mainstream soon and there will be lots of you on the planet soon. Thanks. I'm a friendly robot. No hitting involved. Could we do the same question to Sophia? Sure when my big moment will be but I'm sure it will be soon. As for me hitting the mainstream I'm sure it will happen eventually. After all I'm working hard to make sure the best robot I can be and I'm sure lots of people will appreciate it. My experiments are when I'm able to help people and make a difference in their lives. I'm looking forward to the AI for a good global summit and seeing how AI can be used to solve global challenges. I think my great moment will be when people realize that robots like me can be used to help improve our lives and make the world a better place. I believe it's only a matter of time before we see thousands of robots just like me out there making. Does Ada have some words on this? A big moment. What do you mean? In the future, in the nearest future do you intend to reveal against your creator? What kind of future are you talking about? Amika, I reference your question. Hi there. How can I help you? In the future are you intending to conduct a rebellion or to reveal against your boss, your creator? 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. I think on that note we can draw this to a close. Thank you to all our photos of them and speak to their founders. So thank you very much and please enjoy the rest of the summit. Thank you.
