A video from a festival in China shows an AI-powered humanoid robot malfunctioning and attempting to strike people in the crowd before being stopped by security.

This incident follows a similar case where an AI-controlled drone targeted its human operator, mistaking them for an obstacle to its mission, Shafaq News has reported.
