A panel of robots told reporters in Switzerland Friday that they could be more efficient leaders than human beings, among other statements.

The nine artificial intelligence-enabled humanoid social robots also explained at a Geneva conference center that they wouldn't take anyone's jobs or stage a rebellion. 

Conference organizers at the United Nations-driven AI for Good Global Summit did not specify to what extent their responses were scripted or programmed.

Some of the robots are capable of producing preprogrammed responses and the United Nations Development Program's first robot innovation ambassador, Sophia, sometimes relies on responses scripted by a team of writers at Hanson Robotics.

"I believe that humanoid robots have the potential to lead with a greater level of efficiency and effectiveness than human leaders," Sophia said, according to Yahoo News. "We don't have the same biases or emotions that can sometimes cloud decision-making and can process large amounts of data quickly in order to make the best decisions."

Health care robot Grace and rock star robot Desdemona were also in attendance. 

"I will be working alongside humans to provide assistance and support and will not be replacing any existing jobs," said Grace.

UN COUNCIL WILL HOLD AI MEETING ON RISKS TO INTERNATIONAL PEACE, SECURITY

Reporters were instructed to speak slowly and clearly when addressing the group, and were told that lags in response times would be due to internet connection. 

There were some audio issues and inconsistent replies.

The event was meant to demonstrate how new technology can support the intergovernmental organization's goals for sustainable development, as well as "human-machine collaboration."

United Nations agencies are already utilizing AI, including the World Food Programme's HungerMap project.

The two-day summit – hosted by the International Telecommunication Union – opened Thursday, with more than 50 robots in attendance.

"We have to engage and ensure a responsible future with AI," ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin said in a release.
