AI robot malfunctions, “attacks” people at Chinese festival

A video from a festival in China shows an AI‑powered humanoid robot malfunctioning and attempting to strike people in the crowd before being stopped by security. Initial assessments suggest the behavior was caused by a software glitch rather than intentional aggression. This incident follows a similar case where an AI‑controlled drone targeted its human operator, mistaking them for an obstacle to its mission, Shafaq News has reported.
