▍原文
A United Nations technology agency assembled a group of robots that physically resembled humans at a news conference, inviting reporters to ask them questions in an event meant to spark discussion about the future of artificial intelligence.
The robots vocalized strong statements that robots could be more efficient leaders than humans, but wouldn’t take anyone’s job away or stage a rebellion.
