Desdemona, a humanoid robot designed by Hanson Robotics and endowed with expressiveness and interactivity to teach AI to understand and care about people, is displayed at a SXSW conference titled “How to make AGI beneficial and avoid a robot apocalypse” in Austin, Texas, on March 12, 2024. David Hanson - founder of Hanson Robotics and who designed Desdemona, a humanoid robot that functions with generative AI - brainstromed about the plus and minuses of AI with superpowers. AI's "positive disruptions can help to solve global sustainability issues, although people are probably going to be just creating financial trading algorithms that are absolutely effective," he said. Hanson fears the turbulence from AI, but pointed out that humans are doing a "fine job" already of playing "existential roulette" with nuclear weapons and by causing "the fastest mass extinction event in human history."

While still in his twenties, the Nigerian co-founded two "unicorns", an industry term for companies that achieve a valuation of more than $1 billion.
