A robot named Pepper, "living" at the University of Middlesex, will speak before the committee of the House of Commons at the hearing on the fourth industrial revolution. About it on Wednesday, October 10, reports around the world.

Pepper was developed by the Japanese company SoftBank in 2014. It is equipped with two HD cameras, four microphones and a touch screen on the "chest".

And although many leading scientists, such as Stephen Hawking and Ilon Musk, expressed concern over the development of artificial intelligence technologies last year, the British government does not see the appearance of intelligent machines as a potential threat..
