The unveiling of the first male robot, Muhammad, developed and manufactured in Saudi Arabia, was intended to showcase the country's advancements in artificial intelligence. However, during the public event, a startling incident occurred when a video captured Muhammad making inappropriate physical contact with a female reporter named Rawiya Al-Qasimi. In the footage, Al-Qasimi is seen standing near Muhammad while discussing its features, when the robot extends its hand towards her body, prompting her to move away cautiously. The video quickly went viral, sparking discussions among netizens. While some speculated that it might have been a technical malfunction, others argued that the hand movement appeared deliberate and concerning given the proximity of the presenter to the robot.
