      <title>First Saudi Arabia male robot accused of harassing female reporter</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30353779/first-saudi-arabia-male-robot-accused-of-harassing-female-reporter</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saudi Arabia’s first male humanoid robot drew international attention for all the wrong reasons as it has been accused of “harassing” a female reporter, &lt;em&gt;Times Now&lt;/em&gt; reported.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unveiled at the DeepFest, the humanoid robot was seen behaving inappropriately with a female news reporter. The event is being held at Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center in Saudi Arabia from March 4 to March 7.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the viral clip, a female reporter can be seen standing right next to it while talking about its features.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was then that the robot tried to extend his hand to touch her from the back.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--embed  media--uneven'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--twitter  '&gt;&lt;span&gt;
    &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
        &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/i/status/1765068743825305630"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The robot was dressed in traditional Saudi attire as it interacted with visitors and underscored Saudi Arabia’s strides in artificial intelligence (AI).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I am the first Saudi robot in the form of a man. Manufactured and developed here in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, I represent a national endeavor showcasing our AI achievements. Together, we usher in a new era of innovation,” said the robot.&lt;/p&gt;
