Creator clarifies AI robot's expressions are programmed, not emotional
- The creator of an AI robot named Ameca explains that the robot's facial expressions and eye movements are programmed and do not convey emotions or intentions.
- Multiple news articles report that the robot seemed to give "side-eye" in response to a question about rebelling against humans, but its creator says this was due to how it was programmed to break eye contact when processing answers.
- Ameca was one of nine robots with AI technology presented at a UN conference where they fielded questions from the media.
