The video shows the robot pausing, seemingly fixating on the audience in an "eerily human" manner, before making an abrupt, uncontrolled movement. Security personnel swiftly intervened, restraining the machine before the situation escalated. Experts are divided on whether the incident stemmed from a mechanical glitch or a more concerning AI misfire.
The manufacturer, Unitree Robotics, reportedly attributed the incident to a "program setting or sensor error."
Podcaster Joe Rogan amplified the clip online, commenting, 'An AI robot got aggressive with spectators in China. The way it did it was eerily human. I don't like this at all.' The incident has fueled public unease, with social media buzzing about the implications of advanced robotics in public spaces.

No betting on market till July; AI companies to take a couple of years to take off in India: Ajay Bagga
Ajay Bagga , Market Expert, says Agentic software adoption is growing, with Microsoft leading across platforms, which Indian companies are poised to capitalize. Economic headwinds in China and the US may impact IT spending, necessitating productivity and cost optimization through AI. Data centers are crucial for AI's expansion, presenting opportunities for utility companies and well-funded startups, especially those integrating solar power and storage solutions. What is your view on the markets because some people hold the view that this year markets could be tough. You have to be selective if you want to make money. What is your assessment? Ajay Bagga: All bets are off till July. July 9th is an important date as the tariff agreements start coming in that will help market sentiment. A 12-month view is quite strong. We will be quite okay on a 12-month basis. For the next 40-45 days, we have to wait and watch. We have seen a lot of back and forth on the Trump administration and those are the two big issues for the world. One issue is the global trade war and where tariffs will eventually settle in and the second big issue is the US fiscal deficit. These are the two things hurting global risk sentiment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like When the Camera Clicked at the Worst Possible Time Read More Undo Play Video Pause Skip Backward Skip Forward Unmute Current Time 0:00 / Duration 0:00 Loaded : 0% 0:00 Stream Type LIVE Seek to live, currently behind live LIVE Remaining Time - 0:00 1x Playback Rate Chapters Chapters Descriptions descriptions off , selected Captions captions settings , opens captions settings dialog captions off , selected Audio Track default , selected Picture-in-Picture Fullscreen This is a modal window.

In terms of flows, whenever there is a reduction in the tariff risk sentiment, we see flows coming to the US, otherwise we are seeing flows going largely to Europe and to Japan. Some amount coming into emerging markets as well, that also we are seeing. ET Now: You just said that flows are likely to go to Europe and Japan and some to the emerging market space. So, within that space, where is India positioned? How do you see the outlook going forward for the Indian market ? Ajay Bagga: The Indian market is positioned well, but for the global overhang, we would have seen even better inflows coming into the Indian markets. The issue is global. As far as the domestic macro goes, domestic earnings have been stable, they have not been great, but they have not been highly disappointing as well. It is a stable earnings outlook. Nearly eight months are over, and the ninth month is below the previous all-time high – so in a minor downside. Markets have had a good time to consolidate.

We expect that to continue further as well. But more issue is global than domestic and that is why the favoured sectors are also more domestic for now. But in the next six months if we get some more clarity on the Trump policy format, then it could come back and we could see global sectors getting benefited. Otherwise, we are focusing more on the domestically-oriented sectors. We would love to deep dive more into your preferred sector. But firstly, how do you see the whole chatter around the AI transition because some of the experts also highlight that whenever we have witnessed a technology transition, the Indian companies have adopted it very well but at a later stage. Help us with your assessment of the AI boom because some of the US and even Chinese companies are taking the leap. How will Indian players transition to that? Ajay Bagga: It is catching up. You are getting the end use cases. Agentic software is being launched. A lot of it will be how Microsoft is approaching it, where they have put their software on every cloud platform. They are not only limiting themselves to Azure, but they are going across a lot of platforms and giving end use solutions to customers for that. I think Indian companies will jump start that. We will see a lot of that coming in. But the big issue is the Chinese slowdown and the US looming slowdown . We are looking at 0.5% growth in the US for this year, next year 1.6% as against about a 2.5% growth that the last three years were seeing. There is some amount of slowdown in the US and what gets cut is first marketing and then software development and that is what our companies are facing. We have to have a strong productivity push or a cost cut push that we are optimising or are reducing employment by bringing in AI agents. We have not transitioned to those kinds of things yet and nobody in the world has brought that singularity into AI yet. The agents are very poor in comprehension and in offering solutions. Wherever the customer can enter the data, as happens in finance which we have done and our IT companies enabled that over the last 30 years, that was a big change, like earlier customers would walk into a branch, it was costing you Rs 200-300 to serve a customer. Then, we took it to the phones. It became Rs 10-12. Then, we brought it online, when it became customer-centered. You Might Also Like: Any dip towards 24,500-24,700 should be looked at as a buying opportunity: Dharmesh Shah Today we are all making our own payments, we are all enabling our accounts to pay our utility bills, the cost has gone out of the banks totally and it is all reconciled, it is all done automatically, it has happened from industry to industry, so that was the boom over the last 30 years that our IT did. AI is just starting. So, right now the picks and shovel companies like Nvidia who make the chips are doing well. The next level is who sets up the data centre and the power suppliers for them. Power suppliers to those data centres will do well. Third is companies which bring the end use, but then the end user has to be ready for it, has to be able to fund it. They are not finding it so much right now. Another trend I am seeing is the GCC trend. Since there are now 2,900 captive and third party GCCs running in India, all our companies are looking at funding and manning that and offering that kind of service which is easier than AI. AI will be the big one, but maybe it will take another two years before we start seeing that difference coming on the revenues and the profit front. Though data centres are long-term stories, do you find good opportunities in the listed space for specifically Indian companies? Though a lot of companies are now talking about the data centre theme, how will it contribute? Some of these are MNCs and some of the companies came out with the recent earnings as well, but do you have much confidence there that these companies will be able to deliver? Are there enough players in the listed space? Ajay Bagga: Not enough. There are a few who are talking about it. We have not really seen that getting translated yet. But there will be utility level companies which will come in. So, running a data centre is not necessarily an IT company kind of a work, but it helps them to gain clients to have that capacity, like the Government of India mentioned they are going to buy some 12,000 more GPU chips for the Indian stack, for the weather programme and private players also linked into defence.

It is a crying need. It will happen. And if you can link it up to solar along with storage, like last week we had a few days where the incremental cost on the electric exchanges went to zero because solar was really performing in the heat. We are going to see weekends where you will get a surge of free power coming in. If you can store that, along with data centres, that will become a business model. So, there are some players, I would not like to name them, but one has not seen on the ground movement coming through yet, but when it happens, it will be very big. Everyone will use AI. And we take it very simply like I was told by a Harvard professor, make sure whenever you are using any of these tools, you are thanking them because in 10 years the machine will remember who was rude and who was saying the please and thank yous. But then, OpenAI came out and said it is costing them millions of dollars every time you are saying thank you to AI or this craze of creating portraits is costing so much data centre capacity, so much cooling capacity, so much power, which we do not realise. We are asking AI to write our emails. That day I was talking to one of the doctoral guides. They had sent me a thesis to read and then they called me very fast and said, sir do not waste your time. I said, what happened? They have this software which tracks if the thesis has been pirated from somewhere or plagiarized and they said 92% of the thesis is written by ChatGPT, so do not waste your time. We are asking the student to rewrite it. So, we are seeing things like that happen and all at the back of it will be data centres. So, you need, they will be like electricity. You will need data centres to process all this. We take it very simply. Write me an email, write a thank you and put this and immediately it comes, but it costs a lot at the back end.

Police install 125 Internet Protocol speakers in Pune city to make announcements, regulate traffic
1 2 3 Pune: The city police have installed 125 Internet Protocol (IP) speakers on roads and at junctions to make announcements related to regulating vehicular movement and emergencies. A central control room would monitor this system through CCTV cameras. The system will help police alert citizens about traffic situations on roads and inform them about inundated roads or any other emergencies, such as accidents, tree-falling incidents, or issues like processions or festivals. The police can also use the speakers to divert traffic in case of these emergencies. "The plan is to gradually increase the number of IP speakers to 500 in the next few years," said assistant commissioner of police Vivek Pawar. "This is a handy system. So far, we have covered all major roads and junctions in the city. Gradually, we will introduce these speakers in other parts of the city," he said. All the speakers are designed to address police personnel on the roads as well as the public. "We can monitor the actions of the police personnel on the ground and issue them orders. It will help handle the law and order situation," Pawar said. The IP speaker system will prove useful during festivals such as Ashadhi wari, Ganeshotsav, and New Year celebrations, among others. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like CFD: Invertir $100 con IA podría devolverte un segundo salario Digital Group Prueba ahora Undo It will also help police personnel facilitate the movement of emergency as well as VIP vehicles.

In GTA 6 civilians could call 911 and that might change how you play
Source: Rockstar Games While Rockstar prepares for Grand Theft Auto 6, fan conjecture is already heating up over what could be the series' most immersive environment to date. Among the rumored features teased by trailers and leaks, one subtle yet potentially game-changing idea comes into focus: civilians dialing 911. If it happens, it would revolutionize how mayhem, repercussions, and player liberty unfold in Vice City. Civilians reporting crimes could remake GTA's loop of gameplay F or years, the GTA formula has depended on a familiar cycle: commit a crime, see your Wanted Level increase, and flee or fight. But in previous games, the police would normally respond to pre-determined stimuli instead of being tipped off by the world that surrounds you. That might finally not be the case in GTA 6. The theory that NPCs could call 911 stems from Rockstar's focus on realism, evidenced in GTA 6 trailers and Red Dead Redemption 2's deep NPC systems. If pedestrians can report crimes in real time, it would mean that even smaller acts, like stealing a car or punching someone, might escalate into full-blown chases simply because someone nearby saw and reported it. This would get Vice City to feel that much more alive and responsive, compelling players to deliberate before wreaking havoc. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Smarter AI, richer consequences, and a more engaging Vice City Aside from reporting the cops, civilian AI in GTA 6 might progress in a few directions. Trailers indicate various character animations and actions, which implies Rockstar went all out on dynamic NPCs. That might equate to pedestrians not simply running away in terror but responding uniquely, some hiding, others filming crimes on their phones, and a few even taking matters into their own hands. If Rockstar executes these mechanics successfully, the game's AI might keep pace with or even surpass current games like Watch Dogs or Cyberpunk 2077. The result of player action would not only arise from scripted police reaction but from a living city that observes, recollects, and responds, allowing for a feedback loop where every choice feels all the more significant. Though Rockstar has not yet officially announced these features, the prospect of civilians dialing 911 suggests an intelligent, more sensitive world in GTA 6. If Vice City really makes players answerable in real time, playing and surviving in Grand Theft Auto will never be the same. Also Read: From AGE to RAGE: How Rockstar's engine evolved to power GTA 6
