A panel of AI-enabled humanoid robots told a United Nations summit on Friday that they could eventually run the world better than humans.
But the social robots said they felt humans should proceed with caution when embracing the rapidly-developing potential of artificial intelligence.
And they admitted that they cannot - yet - get a proper grip on human emotions.

In an unprecedented find, scientists from the Planetary Science Institute (PSI) have unearthed traces of an unusual volcanic process on the Moon that had previously only been recognized on Earth. This breakthrough was made possible by the use of a unique new instrument designed to examine microwave wavelengths, a process longer than infrared.
