New Delhi. Artificial intelligence (AI) has advanced so much that people have started using it for everything from their household chores to court cases. In this fast paced life, it has proved to be very helpful in making our life easier. But sometimes its disadvantages are also coming forward. If you are also taking help of robots for house cleaning or other tasks, then be careful. This robot took a picture of a woman sitting on a toilet seat and leaked it on social media. The woman was not a customer but an employee of iRobot, maker of the Roomba robot vacuum cleaner.

This incident happened in 2020 when the iRobot company was testing with its employees to improve this new model. iRobot claims that employees were made aware of how their data would be used. This model comes with a “Recording in Process” tab.
