Dubai Is Aiming To Have 'Fully Intelligent' Robot Police By 2017

Dubai is aiming to to have robots policing the streets by 2017. Just two years away. Scary.

The claim is that the robots will be ‘fully intelligent’, which makes it sound like some sort of Robocop-esque creation.

Not quite, though:

The robots will interact with people and tourists. They will include an interactive screen and microphone connected to Dubai Police call centers. People will be able to ask questions and make complaints, but they will also have fun interacting with the robots.

These will rapidly become more intelligent though. We hope to have fully AI driven models on the street within four to five years.

These will be fully intelligent robots that can interact with people, with no human intervention at all. This is still under research and development, but we are planning on it.
