Robo cop-a-feel: Brutal AI robot touches shocked woman’s buttocks at Saudi artificial intelligence event

A brutal male AI robot was caught touching a woman on the buttocks in front of an audience as she covered an artificial intelligence event.

In hilarious footage, reporter Rawya Kassem is seen standing on a panel in front of an android named Muhammad in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The reporter, dressed in a blue suit and holding a microphone, speaks directly into the camera while the realistic robot stood behind her in his red keffiyeh and long dress.

He can be seen slowly moving his head and body without Rawya noticing, in what appears to be a natural and innocent maneuver of the machine.

But without warning, sassy Muhammed raises his right hand and gently strokes Rawya’s butt as she addresses the camera at the DeepFest AI event.

Clearly taken aback, Rawya turns and stares at the robot as he timidly lowers his hand back down.

She raises her free hand as if to slap him, but smiles at her colleague before continuing her speech.

Muhammed returns to his natural position and looks out at the crowd, leaving the spectators shocked and screwed by the situation.

The clip has made the rounds on social media, leaving viewers divided in their opinions, with some hysterical and some concerned.

One viewer asked: ‘What code did they do for the sheikh?’

Another commented: ‘That cheeky bastard.’

A third said: ‘Saudi Arabia unveils perverted male robot.’

“To name an underdeveloped robot in the name of Mohammed is not correct,” someone else chimed in.

And another joked: ‘Saudi Arabia is now changing forever.’

Android Muhammad was developed by Saudi AI and robotics company QSS.

The event, DeepFest, introduced him to X and wrote: “I am Mohammed, the first Saudi robot in the form of a man.

“I was manufactured and developed here in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as a national project to showcase our achievements in artificial intelligence.”
