The chess player robot broke the finger of a seven-year-old child! (Watch)

According to Russian media reports, an artificial intelligence-based chess-playing robot has broken a seven-year-old boy’s finger while playing. In relation to this incident, the head of the Moscow Chess Federation said that the robot in question was rented for this tournament and despite extensive investigations, the operators apparently ignored this problem. Clearly, this boy was in a hurry to move the nut, and that’s why the robot grabbed his hand, and this led to the breaking of one of the fingers.

Such incidents happen when security protocols are not given enough attention to prepare robots to interact with humans. For example, we can mention the first death by a robot in 1979. This year, a worker at a Ford car factory was crushed by a robot arm.

In the case of this Russian robot, it seems that the robot in question was only designed to move the chess pieces, and that’s why when the boy’s hand stopped his activity while the piece was moving, it did not recognize this issue and continued to push. The child’s parents are said to be planning to sue the robot’s makers, but the chess-playing boy himself played the next matches with a plastered hand.
