At Tesla's annual shareholder meeting on November 6, CEO Elon Musk suggested that the company's Optimus humanoid robots could serve as a more humane alternative to prisons by following individuals and stopping them from committing crimes. He described a scenario where convicted individuals receive a free Optimus to monitor and intervene in their behavior. The remarks highlight Musk's vision for robotics in society but have sparked ethical and practical concerns.

A new guest column calls on AI researchers to actively apply ethical guidelines amid rapid technological advances.
