UN recruits robots in effort to meet global development goals

UN recruits robots in effort to meet global development goals

Dozens of robots, including several humanoid ones, will take centre stage at a conference organized by the United Nations technology agency in Switzerland this week to showcase their potential to help it reach a series of increasingly improbable global goals.

Dozens of robots, including several humanoid ones, will take centre stage at a conference organized by the United Nations technology agency in Switzerland this week to showcase their potential to help it reach a series of increasingly improbable global goals.

Set in 2015, the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) aim to improve human life and the planet by 2030 but are now widely perceived as a long shot.

Among the robot stars of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) event are those with care-giving skills such as 'Nadine', a social robot which simulates emotions and 'remembers' people - skills it has already put to use with retirement home residents.

The two-day event will culminate with a panel of robots taking questions from journalists on Friday in the world's first human-robot press conference.

"The idea is to showcase their capabilities, opportunities and challenges to start a global dialog on robotics for good," said Frederic Werner, Head of Strategic Engagement, at the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Bureau, ahead of the Geneva 'AI for Good' event where up to 5,000 people are expected.

Robots may take off in the next five years in the same way that generative artificial intelligence (AI) behind bots like OpenAI's ChatGPT has hit the mainstream this year, he added.

"You have the inflection point where material science, battery life, network connectivity, AI and machine learning, all these things will converge to basically make robotics more accessible than they are now," he said.
