In America, especially in a lot of the big cities, there's been a shortage of cops, but not in China.

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Over there, they have a surplus of AI-powered robocops.

I'm showing some pictures of them to my co-host right now.

I'm sure nothing could go wrong when you give robots authority like this.

No.

What you're looking at there in the photo is intelligence police unit R-001.

Brooke, you want to describe what you're seeing?

Yeah, it looks like a mannequin on a hoverboard.

Yeah.

Like if you've ever been to Macy's in the windows, and China has these mannequin-looking robots

dressed in police uniforms

with high-definition cameras in their eyes

and smart voice broadcasting systems.

So it can do the job of a traffic cop.

Oh.

And it raises its hands.

It tells cars when to go and when to stop. And then if you don't obey, I'm assuming it draws out a nail gun and shoots out your tires for safety.

I want to know if it gets hit over if it can stand back up again.

When it gets right over.

And that's for a friend.

I mean, it's pretty easy to defeat.
