  • During an interview at a prominent tech expo in Saudi Arabia last month, a male robot driven by artificial intelligence was reported to have harassed a female reporter.

  • Al Arabiya journalist Rawya Kassem was live broadcasting from DeepFest in Dubai when Muhammad, described as "the first Saudi robot in the form of a man," moved his right hand towards her buttocks.

  • It remains unclear what prompted Muhammad to touch Kassem. The company QSS, the developer of Muhammad, told the British newspaper Metro on Friday that the machine acted "independently without direct human control."

  • Muhammad was designed to operate under conditions that could endanger humans. QSS stated that they reviewed the footage of Muhammad's interaction with Kassem and found no worrisome signs.

Quick Glance: Pakistan: Zardari Elected President for Second Term
