Global Debate | Argument and Counterargument: Should we embrace humanoid robots now?

In this edition of Global Debate, experts and young talents discuss whether the human form is the inevitable future of embodied intelligence – or simply a compelling narrative. The choices we make today could shape not only who leads this field over the next decade, but also the future of humanity.

To analyze the race to build humanoid robots, our guests on the pro side are: Seeram Ramakrishna, distinguished chair professor from Tsinghua University; Andy Mok, author of The Innovation Machine: How China Creates and Adopts Technology Through Governance; Zhao Yixuan, a student at Peking University; Gavin Cooley, a student at Peking University.
