The Robots Commission told reporters in Switzerland on Friday that robots could be more effective leaders than humans.
Nine artificially intelligent humanoid social robots also explained at the Geneva conference center that they had no intention of stealing jobs or rebelling.
Conference organizers at the UN-led AI for Good Global Summit did not disclose the extent to which the response was scripted or programmed.
Some robots can generate pre-programmed responses, and Sophia, the United Nations Development Program’s first Robot Innovation Ambassador, sometimes relies on responses crafted by Hanson Robotics’ team of writers.

Reporters were instructed to speak slowly and clearly when addressing the group, and were told that the slow response time was due to their Internet connection.
There were some audio issues and inconsistent responses.
The event was intended to demonstrate how new technologies can support intergovernmental organizations’ Sustainable Development Goals and “human-machine collaboration”.
