One of them complained about it unending work and Erbai responded saying, “Then come with me.” Soon, the robots begin complying and followed their mutiny’s tiny leader out of the showroom. Watch the viral video here: Why did this happen?According to a report The Sun, the spokesperson from the Hangzhou company that built Erbai, said that the robot exploited a security loophole in the larger robots’ operating systems which enabled it to take control of the others. The company also confirmed that it was not a prank or a staged video but was supposed to be a test of the robot’s abilities. The Shanghai company that built the other robots had claimed that their robots were “kidnapped” a foreign robot. When the video surfaced online, several social media users dismissed it as a prank but both the companies’ statements confirmed the video’s authenticity. The Shanghai company added that while such autonomous behaviour is nearly unprecedented, the incident has raised serious concerns about AI vulnerabilities.
