Recently, a video featuring humanoid robots dancing alongside humans at China’s Spring Festival Gala has captured widespread attention on social media.

The robots, known as Unitree H1 ‘Fuxi,’ performed in costumes, executing well-coordinated dance moves that both amazed and unnerved viewers.

Shared by ‘UnitreeRobotics’ on X (formerly Twitter), the video quickly went viral, amassing over 4 million views.

Many users praised the technological prowess demonstrated, reflecting China’s advancement in robotics.

However, some reactions were mixed, with concerns over the robots’ human-like capabilities sparking fear.

In parallel with the robotics showcase, China has made headlines with its AI chatbot DeepSeek, posing stiff competition to OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

DeepSeek has been touted for its cost-effectiveness and efficiency, reportedly requiring less than $6 million in computing power for its latest version, according to Reuters.

This makes it significantly cheaper than similar models developed in the United States, highlighting its potential as a game-changer in the AI field.

As technology continues to advance, the integration of robots like Unitree H1 into popular culture and their capabilities continue to evolve, the line between technology and humanity seems to blur.

While many celebrate these innovations, the apprehension about a future where AI could become ‘too smart’ remains a topic of lively discussion and debate.
